After taking a year off to make room for “The Summit,” CBS is giving longtime fans of “The Amazing Race” a special treat in the form of Season 37.
That’s because in addition to introducing its largest cast ever on Wednesday, Phil Keoghan’s race around the world teased a “season of surprises” for the 14 new teams of two, including game-changing twists each and every episode — all of which will be 90-minutes-long, by the way.
“This season, 14 teams will embark on an unforgettable adventure,” series co-creators Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri shared. “Traveling around the globe for a stop in Osaka, Japan, where they will experience a modern-day bullet train in a thriving city and then immerse themselves in a 12,000-year-old tradition, performing with a taiko drum group.”
