Development and filming

Teams started HaMerotz LaMillion 7 at the Wohl Rose Park helipad in Jerusalem before performing their first task outside of the Knesset.

In October 2018, news broke that Reshet would be filming the seventh and eighth seasons of HaMerotz LaMillion back-to-back with filming set to begin in November and into December. [2] This is the first Amazing Race franchise to film two installments during a 54-day production. [3]

Filming for the seventh season began on 4 November 2018, when passersby noticed a crane and Amazing Race flags on the grounds of the Knesset. Speaker Yuli-Yoel Edelstein later confirmed in a statement that the Knesset was being used as a filming location for HaMerotz LaMillion as part of the seventieth anniversary celebration of the establishment of the legislature. [1] The next day, the teams were spotted at Ben Gurion Airport. [4]

The season visited two continents and eight countries and was the first time that an Amazing Race franchise visited Nepal, a country which has yet to be visited by the original American edition.

This season also included a companion series that aired on ZOOM entitled Zoom in on the Race, which featured comedians Duvdevani and Kovach following the filming of the season. [5]

Casting

At the end of the finale of the previous season, host Ron Shahar announced that casting for the seventh season had begun.

Marketing

Harel Group and Spring returned as sponsors for the season alongside 5 Gum, Hot, Nature Valley, Škoda Auto, Under Armour, James Richardson Corporation, Shufersal, and the Knesset.

[6] Tia & Fay were part of the cast of HaMerotz LaMillion 6 but were removed before filming and replaced with another team due to a missing travel visa. [7] Haviv and Itzhak Maman were previously contestants on Eyal Golan Is Calling You .
