TV Tonight can reveal another season of The Amazing Race Australia: Celebrity Edition is coming with casting about to be revealed soon.

“I am very passionate about the Celebrity edition,” Monaghan continues. “Yes, it gives you another Celebrity show but what I think is interesting is they’re running with their family member. And I think that’s really important. It’s not a Celebrity show where we pair two people from different shows…. this year we’ve got siblings, married couples, engaged couples, famous parents and their kids, and then we’ve got a couple of different relationships. It makes it more interesting when you’re watching people in their real lives.”

Fremantle has inked a three-year deal with Eureka Studios, the new venture from former Eureka Productions co-CEOs Chris Culvenor and Paul Franklin. The duo will now lead Eureka Studios as co-CEOs, while Rikkie Proost steps up as CEO of Eureka Productions, a Fremantle company.

Under the partnership, Eureka Studios will focus on creating original global IP, including unscripted formats, gaming, and scripted projects, with Fremantle handling production and distribution worldwide. The move aligns with Fremantle’s strategy to scale beyond local content development and optimise IP globally.

Eureka Productions, under Proost’s leadership, will continue delivering hit unscripted series like Farmer Wants a Wife (Seven Network), The Amazing Race Australia (Network Ten), and Luxe Listings (Amazon Prime).

You've beaten me to it again Xoruz! 

I'm happy that TAR Australia is coming back again for another season, but I do wish it wasn't celebrities again! I want to see normal Aussies compete again (Maybe I have a conflict of interest here, because I wanted to apply for this season!  )

I'm hoping for some awesome destinations this season. I want another TAR Australia 2 style route!

You've beaten me to it again Xoruz! 

It's early morning for you but late afternoon for me.

The two celebrity seasons have been great and a return to form that was needed after the COVID seasons. I do hope that they bump up the country count even though I like some of the deep dives that they do.

Merrick Watts will fill in for Beau Ryan on Triple M Sydney’s Breakfast show, as Ryan takes time out to film the latest season of Channel 10’s The Amazing Race.

Ryan, who co-hosts Triple M Breakfast with Beau & Woodsy alongside fellow former NRL player Aaron Woods, will be off the Sydney airwaves for several weeks.

This morning Ryan told listeners “Now, let’s just get it out of the way, right? I’m going away for a bit, put it that way. Got to do some time overseas, film some shows.”

Could this be the American Version?? Just seems like a quick turn around if teams left Australia yesterday. Either way excited about Guatemala being visited by either franchise!!

Unlikely, US is just setting out now.

Looking like RATW as a British crew was in Isla Mujeres off Cancun a few days ago.
