Development
On June 10, 2018, it was confirmed by Phil Keoghan from the Starting Line that this season would feature teams who've previously competed on The Amazing Race, Survivor, and Big Brother.

Initially slated to premiere on May 22, 2019, on April 5, 2019, it was announced the premiere would be moved forward to April 17, 2019, replacing the low-rated Million Dollar Mile.

If the original premiere airdate of the season had not changed, the season would not have been eligible for 2019 Emmys as half of the episodes would not have aired before May 31, 2019.
