Development and filming

On 20 October 2021, Network 10 announced at upfronts that a new season was set to air in the second half of 2022.[1][2][3]

Unlike the previous season which filmed solely in Australia due to COVID-19 restrictions, Beverley McGarvey, Executive Vice President and Chief Content Officer of ViacomCBS Australia and New Zealand, stated that she intended for the show to resume travelling internationally again after the American version was able to do so for its thirty-third season.[4] On 2 February 2022, Daniel Monaghan, 10's Head of Programming, reaffirmed that the show would still be filming internationally as the Omicron surge began to subside.[5]

Filming for the season began in March 2022. On 5 March 2022, Beau Ryan was spotted in Chefchaouen, Morocco.[6] On 20 March, TV Blackbox reported that a few crew members had tested positive for COVID-19 requiring some of the crew including Beau Ryan to self-isolate in hotels while the rest of the crew continued filming. Scott Tweedie was brought in to temporarily replace Ryan as host while he was in isolation.[7] According to TV Tonight, Tweedie was contacted prior to the season to potentially step in as host as part of the production's COVID-safe contingency plan.[8] Filming wrapped in April 2022.

Casting

Casting for the season began in early November 2021. Contestants were required to be fully vaccinated with filming expected to occur from February 2022 over four to seven weeks.[9]
