Latest News About Pékin Express

Here’s the latest I can share based on current public sources up to now.

• Pékin Express has seen various international editions. A recent Spanish-language reporting cycle indicated a new Spain-based edition for Max (HBO/Max in Spain) with Miguel Ángel Muñoz as host, premiering October 20. This version begins in Hanoi and travels through Laos to Cambodia, reflecting a refreshed format tied to Max’s streaming slate. As this is a European adaptation, it signals ongoing interest in revivals of the Pekín Express franchise in different markets.[1]

• Broadly, Pékin Express originated in Belgium and has been adapted in multiple countries (France, Spain, Hungary, Israel, etc.), often featuring celebrity pairs and a “very tight” travel budget as core challenges. While the original Belgium series and many national spin-offs vary by season, the core concept—race across countries with minimal resources—remains consistent.[3][6]

• Casting and renewal patterns for the show vary by country and network. In France, casting for a new season has been reported as open in 2024, suggesting ongoing interest in revivals or new cycles on major networks like M6. Other markets have also experimented with new host lineups and route concepts to refresh the format for contemporary audiences.[4][8]

• For fans seeking up-to-date episode guides or air dates, there are multiple sources that track upcoming episodes and seasons across countries, including dedicated fan wikis and episode trackers. Note that schedules can shift, especially with regional licensing and streaming platform decisions.[5]
