As the new coronavirus continues its spread around the globe, CBS has shut down production of Season 33 of "The Amazing Race." The cautionary shutdown is temporary, but it's unclear when filming will resume.

"Due to increased concerns and uncertainty regarding the coronavirus around the world, CBS and the producers of 'The Amazing Race' have taken the precautionary measure of temporarily suspending production on the 33rd season of the series, All contestants and production staff are in the process of returning home.

Contestants on "The Amazing Race" compete in teams of two in a race around the world to try to win a cash prize.

Only three episodes of the season had been filmed when the decision was made to suspend production. Racers had so far visited England and Scotland and are now returning home from Scotland.
