'PEKIN EXPRESS' ARRIVES ON MAX THIS OCTOBER 20

This morning, the new edition of PEKIN EXPRESS was presented at FesTVal – the Vitoria Television Festival, and it will premiere on Max on October 20. In addition, the route followed by the contestants was announced: the show will begin its journey in Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam, and will pass through Laos before culminating at the temples of the Lost City of Angkor in Cambodia.

Pekin Express is a relentless stage-based race that traverses some of the most beautiful, unknown, and challenging locations in the world. A journey in which participants will meet exceptional people, enjoy the richest and most diverse cultures, and discover new aspects of themselves they never imagined before. This format, originally from Belgium and created by Ludo Poppe two decades ago, has been successfully aired in 18 countries worldwide, including France, Norway, Sweden, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Spain, and Italy, among others. In this new chapter in our country, the show has been produced by Warner Bros. ITVP Spain for Max. As previously announced, actor and director Miguel Ángel Muñoz will lead this new adaptation of Pekin Express, which was filmed this spring and will premiere on October 20 on Max. The show will feature seven pairs of contestants, each consisting of a well-known figure and a companion from their close circle: Miriam Díaz Aroca and María Grant, Octavi and Alicia Pujades, Gonzalo Miró and Ángel Díaz, Álex de la Croix and Guille Camas, Alba Paúl and Álex Domenech, Canco Rodríguez and David Pulido, Gemma Mengual and Gisela Morón. About Pekin Express 14 participants, a colossal journey through some of the most remote countries on the planet, just one euro per day, and a lucrative cash prize. This is Pekin Express, the travel and adventure competition that revolutionized this television genre around the world. Now, coinciding with its 20th anniversary, it returns to Spain thanks to MAX, with a refreshed format full of surprises and Miguel Ángel Muñoz as the show’s host. In this new chapter, produced by Warner Bros. ITVP Spain for Max, seven pairs consisting of a celebrity and their companion will participate. They will have only a backpack as their luggage and will compete against each other in the race of their lives. Their mission: to reach the finish line as quickly as possible by traveling through exotic locations, where they will have to find transportation, accommodation, and food with no resources other than their instincts, ingenuity, or social skills. Only then will they be able to overcome the numerous challenges they will face throughout the show and stay in the competition until the final challenge.
