sa国际传媒 is get-ting an Amazing Race spinoff that will air next summer on CTV.
U.S. host Phil Keoghan announced the plan during Sunday's broadcast of The Amazing Race.
CTV says the Canuck version will be entirely set in sa国际传媒, with competitors racing through various destinations across the country.
Casting, locales, the host and other details will be announced in the coming months.
The U.S. version sends competitors racing around the world as they try to avoid elimination and compete for prizes.
Similar spinoffs have already taken off in Australia, Brazil, China, France, Israel, Latin America, Norway, Philippines, Ukraine and Vietnam.
The Amazing Race sa国际传媒 will be produced by the Toronto-based Insight Productions, responsible for Canuck reality spinoffs including Canadian Idol, sa国际传媒's Got Talent and the upcoming Big Brother sa国际传媒.
"Canadians deserve their own summer version, distinct from what is seen in fall and winter," Phil King, president, CTV programming and sports, said in a release.
This is the latest high-profile reality show to join the Canadian TV lineup. Citytv just wrapped up its take on The Bachelor with the recently wrapped The Bachelor sa国际传媒, which was shot in Victoria, and Slice is preparing to air Big Brother sa国际传媒 this winter.
Bertram van Munster, co-creator of The Amazing Race, says the Emmy Award-winning series is a great fit for sa国际传媒.
"Canadians have embraced the franchise for over a decade, and also have been wildly enthusiastic about having a version produced in sa国际传媒," van Munster said in a release.
"With the world's second-largest country as its backdrop, The Amazing Race sa国际传媒 will offer a unique glimpse of the broad and diverse Canadian landscape and culture, while maintaining all of the excitement, spontaneity and challenge inherent in The Race."
