The highly anticipated final episode of series 5 of BBC’s Race Across the World is airing tonight, marking the end of another epic adventure where pairs travel through foreign lands with no smartphone and limited resources. The current season took the contestants from The Great Wall of China to Kanniyakumari, the southernmost tip of India, covering a grueling 14,000km route.
As fans eagerly await the finale, there is good news for those who can’t get enough of the show – Race Across the World has been renewed for series 6, with applications currently open until July 6, 2025. If the show follows its usual pattern, viewers can expect to see the new season air around April 2026. Additionally, a Celebrity edition of the show is expected to air before series 6.
While the route for series 6 has not been confirmed yet, we can look back at previous seasons to speculate on potential locations. The show has covered various regions such as Europe, Asia, and South America, but there are still untouched areas like the USA, Africa, and Oceania. With each season exploring new territories, fans can expect the unexpected in the upcoming series.
Race Across the World offers a unique perspective on travel and challenges viewers to think about how they would navigate the world on a shoestring budget. As we eagerly await the next installment, fans can catch up on all the latest news on other popular shows like The Traitors and Gladiators. Stay tuned for more updates on Race Across the World series 6 and get ready for another thrilling adventure with a new set of contestants.
