Personally I think TARA is dead. Which is a shame because clearly Allan wants to do it and everyone wants to watch it, they clearly don't care about it anymore. It's not like TARA is so expensive no one will do it, if they wanted to do a Season 5 they would have done it already.

Ran into someone close to production. Seems like TAR:A 5 has had some preparation but is now on the shelves...

I miss TARA. The original international franchise. It'd be great to see it all freshened up and up to date with new graphics and all the new twists and stuff.

I agree. TARA was a great addition to the TAR family, I loved it!

With the way the last 2 seasons were, a part of me is hoping there is no next season. That is unless they truly go around the world.

And how long has it been since season 4?
for now we've never seen a new season of TARA for the past 4 years.  :knuckles: :gaah:

Would be interesting to have TARA5 be a TARA All-Stars vs Local All-Stars (teams from TARPH, China, Vietnam) and work out deals to have the show air in the Philippines, China and Vietnam on the local TAR channels alongside the regular AXN broadcasts.

Ooo! I stlll want to see that Asia vs Local All-Stars hehe

I guess, if the first four seasons are to be examples, we'll have a fair share of local "celebs" again. 

It'd be great also to have teams from countries that have only had 1 team so far on TARA like Japan, South Korea and Sri Lanka. And of course other fresh countries that haven't had reps before.

Also, China is allowed to apply this season (were they not before?) so all the Chinese hopefuls who can't audition for TAR China (since they're not celebs hehe) can now go for TARA5.

It's been 6 years. It'll be very exciting to see how TARA5 will turn out with updated everything.  So much has changed in the TAR franchise since TARA4.  TARA was of course the first international version so all the other TARs were able to learn from them. 

I wonder if ActiveTV will still be involved in producing the show.  Though the images are all saying "An AXN Production."  I don't know if that means AXN/Sony will be the sole producers of the show rather than co-producing with someone else.

I am more than happy with this news!  I didn't want the show's final legacy to be the boring Richards basically making the final leg the biggest anticlimax ever by running away with the leg the way they did.

I think the Salvage Pass and Express Pass will be present this upcoming season. ??? With those 2 becoming quite (or not quite) common now, I think they might bring these 2 elements in the game.

Speed Bumps are certain now though right? TARA4 still had the MFE penalty.

Not really, such as the money NEL penalties, the Save, DYM, and those that don't exist in recent seasons in US and Int'l.

Leafsfan was joking that since you mentioned Salvage Pass + EP + Intersection, they might as well bring back EVERYTHING.

Do you not get sarcasm? Leafsfan was joking that since you mentioned Salvage Pass + EP + Intersection, they might as well bring back EVERYTHING.

I get sarcasm when there's a certain tone used, but I find it hard to spot one in texts (unless in all-caps). :lol: Sorry.

But the sponsors definitely helped TARA with its budget.  Hehe, I don't mind a Caltex or Sony task as long as they go to great places and have good tasks for the rest of the Race.

 It's a wonder how TARA was able to travel as far as Europe and to at least 8 countries each season while TAR Canada has so far kept to only a few intl Legs each season lol

I don't know if this means anything (since it shows a U-Turn but the Tweet says Yield), but this means we might see both Race obstacles on this season like TARA4.

I hope TARA does a Double Yield board though, imagine how that would look!
