Coincidentally, the first “CSI” launched the same year as “Survivor,” which will kick off Wednesdays as it returns to its regular 8 p.m. slot this fall with Season 41. “Survivor” has been off the air since spring 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but has resumed shooting at its Fiji base. And although online reports have questioned whether spikes in infections in Fiji might further delay things, Kahl said the return of “Survivor” is well under way.
“They are in production and everything is going well and according to plan,” he said. “We expect to have two versions for the season.”
The return of “The Amazing Race” remains more up in the air, however. The show’s 33rd cycle was perhaps the first major U.S. production to halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic, when filming on the show’s Season 33 was paused at the end of February 2020. Contestants were sent home, and continue to wait for the competition to resume. “They are waiting for a significant chunk of the world to open itself up,” Kahl said. “I believe they can turn around and get out there fairly quickly. We are hoping to have this completed version by the end of the season, but there’s just a lot of things outside our control.”

Thailand is opening up Phuket for vaccinated traveled July 1st and hopes to fully reopen to travelers by October 1st. It’s a favorite location for the show but I think they’ll have to wait and see what the high income countries in East Asia do bc they travel through them to get home or further into Asia since there’s no direct flights.

Japan is really ramping up vaccinations now. The vaccine minister says they’re gonna be doing a million a day by the end of the month. Seems like the most likely contender for the rich East Asian country to travel through if the show can get on the road late this year. South Korea also says they’re now on track to get 70% of people a first shot by the end of q3.

I think there is a possibility that they could film Winter 2021 which would be great since they were filming in Winter before they had a pause production.

""Needless to say, “Race” is not the easiest show to pick back up again, but Keoghan shares that producers have come up with a plan to safely resume production. “CBS wants us back on the schedule. They want us to come up with a plan,” he states. “I think we have a plan that will work in this world that we live in. But the expectation from the network is that we get Season 33 finished and then we roll into more seasons again.”
