Race Across the World, BBC One’s BAFTA winning hit series, is back and searching for intrepid duos, of all ages, from across the East Midlands ready to take a step into the unknown and embark on an epic race across land and sea.

The BBC is currently casting for the next series.

The broadcaster has announced that the BAFTA-winning hit show is set to return to our TV screens later this year, and producers are now on the look-out for people of all ages who reckon they’re ready to take a step into the unknown, and embark on an epic race across land and sea – and that includes East Midlands residents

Putting out a UK-wide casting call on the BBC website this week, producers Studio Lambert wrote: “We are now accepting applications for the next series of Race Across the World. This experience is open to all, whether you’re a seasoned traveller or total novice.

“We want to hear what undertaking a trip like this would mean to you, and with a cash prize at stake, what lengths you would go to to win.

“Maybe you’re looking to change something in your life? Or are keen to share the journey with someone special like a family member, best friend, or someone you’ve lost touch with. You may even have a very personal reason for wanting to travel at this time in your life or explore a particular part of the world.”

Applications for the third series of Race Across the World are now open for anyone over 18 years of age, with a deadline date of 6 April 2025, and you can find out more information and apply via the BBC website.
