Season 33.
The most logistically extraordinary season the franchise has run: filming stopped after three legs in early 2020 and didn't resume for roughly nineteen months.
A season the world interrupted mid-route — paused for nineteen months, then restarted with a chartered jet and a reshuffled field.
A rhythm worth tracking.
The most logistically extraordinary outing the franchise has run. Filming began with hometown starts in early 2020, then stopped after three legs through England and Scotland; it resumed roughly nineteen months later. Some teams couldn't come back, so two previously-out teams were reinstated, and the resumed legs ran on a chartered Titan Airways 757 with staggered releases. The eleven-leg route also touched Switzerland, France, Greece, and Portugal before a Greater Los Angeles finish — a season the world interrupted.
