Season 35 is set to premiere Wednesday, Sept. 27 at 9:30/8:30c with its first 90-minute entry of the season. (Every episode will, in fact, be super-sized.) The new cast (see photos below) includes a Deaf dad and his son (Rob and Corey), a pair of college besties (Malaina and Andrea), two young veterans (Liam and Yeremi) and more. The show’s new globetrotters will endure a 23,800-mile adventure around the world and visit a new country, Slovenia, known for its beautiful landscape and dramatic scenery. There, teams will fly in a gravity defying glider, 2,000 feet over Lake Bled, cross-country ski indoors and climb 1,110 steps to the top of Planica’s tallest ski jump.

Other locations for the season include Thailand, India, Germany, Sweden, Ireland and Washington state, and by the end of the trek, one team will be awarded the $1 million prize.

The racers are in for plenty of surprises this season when a former team serves as judges at the end of the first Roadblock which sees team members cross a perilous tightrope stretched in between two rooftops. The show is also returning to commercial traveling, and will once again have no non-elimination legs. Plus, the Express Pass is back (!) and a twist on the infamous U-Turn will shake things up and make this season of the Race more competitive than ever.
