"The Amazing Race" season 29 is finally airing on CBS next year after it was axed by the network from its Fall 2016 lineup. Unfortunately, the multi-Emmy Award-winning reality series, which usually delivers two seasons in a year, might have to air only one season in 2017. Some talks claim that season 30's possible clash with another hit reality show of CBS is hindering it from getting its green light.
Fans of "The Amazing Race" expressed their disgust when CBS canceled the series' season 29 earlier this year. CBS had then been keeping mum on the reason behind the show's delay which had the fans worrying about the future of the family-friendly series. The network though has broken its silence as it recently announced that it is not canceling the show and that it is already scheduled for premiere on April 21, 2017. Furthermore, CBS revealed that "TAR" will return to its usual Friday time slot at 8 p.m. The network has dropped more surprise for fans as it announced a two-hour premiere special.
"The multi-Emmy Award-winning reality series The Amazing Race returns on Friday, April 21 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), with a two-hour premiere one week after the season finale of MacGyver, then moving to its regular Friday (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) time period on April 28," CBS announced.
With this announcement, CBS is still to finish the "MacGyver" reboot, hence the late premiere date of the reality series. While this is good news to some, other fans still remain disappointed as the show is expected to air only one season in 2017. "The Amazing Race" usually opens two seasons per year, one during fall and the second in spring. The possible reason being looked at for the network's decision is the show's possible collision with "Big Brother" which is scheduled to air its new season in summer of 2017.
CBS is still silent about the possible delay of "The Amazing Race" season 30, but the future of the said installment is very solid as its renewal is already announced. For its upcoming season, the wholesome reality series is still accepting new participants that will compete on another epic race that will happen in different places around the globe.
Fans then might have to wait a little longer but they can keep their excitement as "The Amazing Race" season 29 will premiere in April on CBS on its original time slot.
