Will CBS renew The Amazing Race for season 34?
Normally the show releases two seasons in a year or just one season and they have been following that timeline religiously until Covid-19 happened and there was a gap of over a year but the show returned with the 33rd season in January 2022 which is currently airing.
In September 2021, Thom Sherman, CBS senior EVP of programming, declared at a summer press tour (Television Critics Association) that the game show will be back on the air in 2021-2022. After about a week, the shooting continued with the whole cast and crew. It was then reported that filming ended.
“I told you that we would be back and we are back because we have been able to travel around the world safely. Our No. 1 priority is to make sure that all our racers can travel around the world safely and we can get them back home safely to their families, and we have done that,” Keoghan explained in a clip on Twitter following the 33rd season air date. “So excited! Brand new locations, awesome new challenges, and of course as I say every single time, the world is waiting for you. Are you ready for this?”
As of now, we’re optimistic that the show will be greenlit for the 34th season, but presently the covid-19 variant omicron has been on the rise lately and it might take some time for the crew and cast members to start filming for the next season.
