CBS has just announced its spring schedule, and The Amazing Race 29—which was filmed last summer and has a brand-new twist—is on the schedule.

MacGuyver took over the show’s Friday at 8 p.m. timeslot this fall, but TAR 29 will return to it on April 21, after MacGuyver concludes its first season.

Survivor: Game Changers, the show’s 34th season, will debut March 8, with a two-hour premiere. That’s about two weeks later than usual.

Between seasons, Survivor’s timeslot will have two occupants:

Undercover Boss will air Wednesdays at 8 from Dec. 21 until Jan. 18
The new series Hunted will debut Jan. 25, which CBS announced earlier this week, and conclude March 1.
