Pékin Express is a French reality game show based on the Dutch–Flemish format Peking Express. The game, in similar fashion to "The Amazing Race", follows six to ten teams of two people (usually couples, friends or members of the same family) as they hitchhike across a continent, with the winner usually receiving a prize of up to €100,000. As of July 2018, 10 seasons (including 1 celebrity special) have been completed, and the 11th is being aired on Thursdays on private French television channel M6. The program is also broadcast on Belgian-Luxembourgish channel Plug RTL, worldwide francophone channel TV5Monde and on French Canadian channel Évasion since its 5th season. First aired from 15 Janaury 2006 to 18 June 2014, it got cancelled by the M6 direction in 2014 due to record-low ratings. After 4 years of absence, the program has returned on 12 July 2018 with a new season, still aired on M6.
