9 x 1 hour (6 Seasons)

The globe-spanning adventure of a lifetime.

Studio Lambert’s smash hit, BAFTA award winning competition format follows five teams race in a high-stakes journey across countries and continents. Stripped of modern conveniences like smartphones and bank cards, and with no flights, no phones and limited cash budget, contestants must rely on their resourcefulness, resilience, and each other.

The series recently returned to BBC for a sixth season, with a route spanning 12,000km from Italy, Greece, Türkiye, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and finishing on the shores of Lake Khövsgöl, in northern Mongolia.

From unexpected detours to life-changing encounters, the race becomes more than just a competition, but also a life changing experience.

With global appeal and proven success, the Race Across the World format continues to travel to new destinations. Local format versions of the series have been adapted across Europe, including in Spain, Denmark, Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, Germany, and Norway—a testament to its universal, scalable appeal.
All3Media International has also extended the brand into a growing portfolio that includes a live experience with 6 routes across 5 UK cities as well as a board game, card game and publishing deals.
