With the SAG-AFTRA strike finally over, various Hollywood stars are getting back to work, as production on shows and movies restarts. While it may seem like it’s early to think about when TV series, programming moves are only being made by at least one network. CBS just announced midseason premiere dates, and a whole lot of its tried-and-true hits are returning, including The Amazing Race and Survivor. And both of those are sticking to one big change made amid the labor disputes, and I'm excited!
Back in May, it was announced that both Survivor and The Amazing Race would change by having their upcoming seasons feature 90-minute episodes, instead of the usual 60-minute block. While that was initially due to the strikes, it now seems the hour-and-half approach will remain. According to Entertainment Weekly, in addition to its new chunk of air time, the Jeff Probst-hosted series' 46th season will also kick off with two episodes that are two hours in length. So yes, fans of the long-running reality show should definitely be hyped.
