'The Amazing Race' Season 35 cast: Meet the teams racing around the world

USA TODAY

The 35th season of Emmy Award-winning reality series "The Amazing Race" is coming to CBS this fall, and the network just announced the teams for the season.

The series features teams of two who embark on a trek around the world.

"At every destination, each team must compete in a series of challenges, some mental and some physical, and only when the tasks are completed will they learn of their next location," the show's synopsis reads.

Teams that are the farthest behind will gradually be eliminated as the season progresses, with the first team to arrive at the final destination winning the $1 million prize.

It will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.

According to the network, Season 35 will up the ante by starting with an unprecedented 13 teams "who will set off on a 23,800-mile adventure around the world."

This season also sees the return of commercial travel and will bring back no non-elimination legs, the Express Pass and a twist on the U-turn, according to CBS.
