CBS’s 10-time Emmy winning “The Amazing Race” is changing formats for its 26th season.
When the franchise returns in February, there will be no parent-children teams, no siblings, and no best friends lugging backpacks and passports.
Instead, the new season is all dating couples, five of whom are on a blind date race around the world.
That makes it not just a shotgun start to the race, but a shotgun start to five romances. CBS made the announcement on Friday night at the tail end of the current season finale in a teaser video.
From the existing couples, “New Kids On The Block” star Jonathan Knight is racing.
