India, Aug. 17 -- CBS has officially locked in season 38 of The Amazing Race, and this year comes with a reality TV twist. The network revealed in August 2025 that the entire lineup is built around former Big Brother contestants, who will compete alongside close family members, friends, or partners. According to People, the renewal was first confirmed back in February, when season 37 was still on air.

Executive producers Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri called the journey "an extraordinary feat of storytelling and logistics," noting that over the show's run they have visited nearly 100 countries and logged more than 1 million miles.

Host Phil Keoghan is back to guide the racers, a role he has held since the series debuted in 2001...
