‘The Amazing Race’ Creators Hope To Get Back In Production Soon As CBS Reality Series Hits 1 Million Miles Travelled – Contenders TV Docs + Unscripted Deadline 5 hrs ago The Amazing Race has been on the air for 20 years, and this year the CBS reality adventure competition series hit a major milestone: 1 million miles travelled. The 32nd season of the show, which premiered in October 2020, featured legs through the Amazon and across Kazakhstan as well as its first ever “mega-leg,” which saw contestants face two detours and two roadblocks in India. More from Deadline Co-creator Elise Doganieri, speaking during Deadline’s Contenders Television: Documentary + Unscripted awards-season event, said it was like a “military operation.” “That was new and exciting and it really pushed the limits not only for the contestants but also for production,” she added.
