Production

Development and filming

Teams began their race around the world at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.

On May 2, 2024, the show was renewed for a thirty-seventh season with CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach teasing a potential new twist for the show.[1] In an interview before the finale of the thirty-sixth season, Phil Keoghan stated, "We know the audience loves the airports; we know the audience loves mixing things up. We know that the audience loves going to new places, like Slovenia in Season 35. We got so much great feedback about Slovenia, so expect to see some new destinations, and also trying some new things."[2]

Filming for this season began on May 18, 2024, at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles with teams then flying to Hong Kong.[3] On May 21, teams left Hong Kong for Osaka, Japan.[3] On June 10, a leg was filmed in Sabrosa, Portugal.[4] Filming concluded in mid-June in Miami.[5]

In August 2024, Keoghan stated in an interview, "We wanted to do a season where there were a few surprise elements, so I guess that's what I would say would summarize what we did. There's just some things that come of left field for the contestants and I think the viewers will find it fun. Not necessarily new twists but just surprises."[6]

Casting

Casting for the season began on December 4, 2023.[7]
