Casting

Casting for this season began on January 13, 2025, and closed on May 2, 2025. [3] [4] This season was the first since season 33 to not feature the mandatory 50% BIPOC casting diversity initiative that began in late 2020 following the decision by CBS to rollback its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in April 2025. [5] Despite the change, casting director Jesse Tannenbaum stated, "Well, from my perspective, nothing's changed. I've always, in the back of my mind, felt we needed more diversity on these shows...I'm still shooting for having a really diverse cast because I think everybody needs to be represented." [6]

Marketing

As part of the promotion for this season, CBS invited influencers to test out challenges from the first leg. [7]
