"The Amazing Race 15" is a GO! as none other than host Phil Keoghan himself announced the renewal of "The Amazing Race" for a 15th run via his Twitter feed. CBS issued its own renewal PR also via Twitter.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, it was the first time that any U.S. television series renewal had been officially announced via the microblogging service.
CBS later issued a more formal press release in which the network praised the recent ratings dominance of the program. The network also noted that Keoghan will appear personally at three more TAR casting calls in metro Chicago (April 24), Pittsburgh (May 1) and New York (May 8).
TAR15 will air at some time during the 2009-2010 television season. TAR14's ratings upsurge would seem to ensure the program a continued spot on the fall lineup though not necessarily at its current time slot.
