The series is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Television and Worldrace Productions in association with ABC Studios and Amazing Race Productions.

Season 32 of The Amazing Race was initially scheduled to premiere in May 2020, but CBS ultimately decided to delay and push back the season until Fall 2020 once the pandemic hit and the production of television shows -- including Season 33 of The Amazing Race -- was disrupted.

CBS also revealed Celebrity Big Brother will air a new season starring a house filled with celebrities beginning in early February 2022, followed by the premiere of Survivor's 42nd season in early March.
