Development and Filming

During the season preview, it was revealed that the race will visit the countries of Nigeria and Samoa for the first time, and that the race will also visit Angola. Other previously unvisited countries include Antigua & Barbuda and Andorra.

Leg 3 of this season introduced the Head-To-Head, a challenge where teams faced off against each other in a series of matches in order to progress to the next challenge. Leg 6 introduced the Voting U-Turn, where teams vote on who they want U-Turned, and the team or teams with the most votes have to do both sides of the Detour. Leg 9 introduced the Voting Yield, a similar twist where teams voted on who they want Yielded.

Cast

Casting commenced during April 2019. Similar to Season 1 and Season 3, the cast for this season consists of all-female teams.
