Meet The ‘Amazing Race’ 2020 Cast: Contestant Refresher Before Season 32 Premiere

It’s been more than a year since the final episodes of Season 31 aired, but fans of “The Amazing Race” will finally get to see the return of the race around the world for $1 million on their TV screens once again.

Season 32 of the CBS reality competition series will see a back to basics approach with teams that fans haven’t seen before, and who won’t be following some kind of casting gimmick. According to a press release, the teams will duke it out on a journey that sees them head to Trinidad and Tobago, France, Germany, Kazakhstan and Brazil, with the first team across the finish line winning $1 million.

While the season will be bringing in a cast that may not be entirely familiar to fans though, that doesn’t mean the competition won’t likely be fierce. So who are the 11 teams who are signing up for this trek around the world? Get reacquainted with them before the Season 32 premiere below.
