Sounds like TAR 38 casting has been over.

Also one of the casting producers replied to a comment (relax_with_catryn) saying that she's casting through April.

Looks like that casting's for TAR39.

Jesse Tannenbaum also posted that casting has begun today.

Alex Sharp announced that casting has closed.

Do you Americans know if Trump's going to extend this to TV? If so, it could be bad news for TAR39...

[NumfarPTB]

The joke would be they`d have to pull a traditional season of TAR CAN, or technically family edition and just do the US.

That's good news!

And yet, bad news that it still won't air the spring following this.

Pretty confident they haven't locked down the route 6 months in advance.

Maybe if culinary cup gets pulled by CBS?

Since this season is being filmed during the Northern Hemisphere fall, hopefully we get long overdue visits to Southern Africa and Oceania.

[TARFansurvivor]

Lets get Nepal too.

[daydreamer015]

since it's september now, any news on when they start filming this month??

A couple of tidbits of information about this season via realitytv_fan on Instagram:

[Maanca]

I agree with that first point. We haven't seen an African country since 31.

[RealityFreakWill]

Per Instagram FILMING starts NEXT WEEK!

Just for full context, CBS is going to do an influencer TAR experience up in Vancouver this weekend (similar to the Survivor influencer video they just released). Hannah's use of the phrase "test it out" does feel reminiscent of when the Early Show went on the first leg.

So what is this?  A one shot?  A qualifier for season 39?

[Maanca]

Could she mean Vancouver, Washington? They've said in the past they don't want to visit Canada again because it's too similar.

It worked back in the single-digit seasons when finales had an intermediate destination.

If they're starting in LA then Vancouver makes good sense as a first destination. Times change and with the show's budget constraints, Canada is a good option for 2 legs to visit a country they haven't been to in over 30 seasons while also not breaking the bank. They can eliminate 2 teams before even crossing the Pacific, which can help the budget even more.

I'm in Vancouver. Happy to help if I can!

It does work well for a first leg. Whenever TAR Canada flew to Asia (the good old days when they left the country at all...) they always went through Vancouver.

So I assume it's going to be a westward route.

[TheBayAreaGuy]

It may be just a bonus for S38, nothing related to S39.

Won't know until we see teams on the ground.

[daydreamer015]

anyone have any idea on tar40 news/updates or filming dates?

[kyleisalive]

anyone have any idea on tar40 news/updates or filming dates?

Generally the show doesn't film until spring in any case, so if they were on track for filming this quarter, they're still a month or two out (pre-TARCAN).

[RachelLeVega]

Not necessarily 39-specific news, but the forum is back online! Something to celebrate! Season premiere is on September 30, mark your calendar!

  Good work finding the site up after a long disappearance,  Unfortunately, I think most of the regulars may have given up checking in after the long hiatus.  Checked the domain registration for this site, but does not appear to have lapsed, so it may have been a problem with their hosting service,  Either way, we wont know for sure what happened till the owners post an explanation.  Don't they have a regular blog where they can explain the reasons for the blackout,  May take a while before people realize thst RFF is back up. 

[docol]

Glad this is back! Looking forward to chase the racers for the iconic SEASON 40!

Long time lurker, basically non existent poster. I’m so happy we’re back

The first TAR 39 promo aired during Big Brother last night. It was about 15 seconds long. If I can find a video clip of it, I will post it here!

[Alenaveda]

Found it!

Meet the cast of THE AMAZING RACE season 39, who will race around the world beginning with a special two-night premiere event, Wednesday, Sept. 30 (9:30-11:00 PM, ET/PT) and Thursday, Oct. 1 (9:30-11:00 PM, ET/PT). The Emmy® Award winner continues in its regular Wednesday time period on Wednesday, Oct. 7 (9:30-11:00 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ Premium plan subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*.

Host Phil Keoghan kicks off the Race from Vancouver, Canada, where he immediately surprises the teams with the first twist of the season: for the first time in THE AMAZING RACE history there are 13 Express Passes in play. Each team receives one pass, forcing them to think strategically as they must play it by the end of leg six. Along the route, Racers will travel to five continents, nine countries, 13 cities and more than 25,000 miles, where they jump 200 feet off the catwalk of BC Stadium in Vancouver, walk with camels in Morocco and fly a paramotor through the skies of Laos.

“AMAZING RACE fans continue to make it clear what they love most is seeing everyday Americans stepping outside their comfort zones to race around the world and complete extraordinary challenges in extraordinary places – a chance to vicariously experience our amazing planet through the eyes of compelling, relatable contestants,” said host Phil Keoghan. “This season’s twists, including a new, unexpected reveal at the start line, as well as the return of some tried and tested classics, ramp up the importance of strategy. All this, along with a first-time visit to Albania, make for another thrilling race for $1 million.”
