Q: I’m so excited to hear that the reality show “The Amazing Race” is coming back. It was always my favorite because it wasn’t just people bickering, and since I can’t afford to travel the world, watching “The Amazing Race” is the next best thing. How much longer do I need to wait for new episodes? – S.B.
A: The 32nd installment of “The Amazing Race” was actually filmed back in November 2018, but CBS is finally set to broadcast it beginning Wednesday, Oct. 14, at 9 p.m. ET. According to TVLine.com, the globetrotting competitors will touch down in Trinidad, France, Germany and Brazil, and include NFL stars DeAngelo Williams and Gary Barnidge and Olympic hurdlers Kellie Wells-Brinkley and LaVonne Idlette. Representing us average folk are paired-up siblings, couples, and a father and son duo.

Q: I was a fan of “Pan Am” and enjoy watching it again on Amazon Prime. What happened to the cast since it was canceled? They were great, but I haven’t seen them since the series. – J.H.
A: “Pan Am,” named after the glamorous international airline of the 1960s, lasted just one short season on ABC before it was canceled in 2012. Sony Pictures Television tried to get Amazon to pick it up for a second season, but that deal didn’t work out.
The cast has done well since. Christina Ricci was already a household name before starring in “Pan Am” as stewardess Maggie Ryan and has since gone on to play Lizzie Borden in a miniseries. Next up for her is the survival drama “Yellowjackets” on Showtime, about a soccer team whose plane crashes.
Michael Mosley, who played Ted Vanderway, has had regular roles on “Longmire,” “Castle” and “Ozark,” among others. Kelli Garner, who played Kate Cameron, starred as the tragic Marilyn in the miniseries “The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe” and was in another one-season drama, “The Enemy Within,” which starred Jennifer Carpenter.
The two most famous alumni of “Pan Am” are David Harbour and Margot Robbie. Harbour stars in the hit series “Stranger Things” and can be seen in the upcoming Marvel movie “Black Widow.” Robbie is a two-time Academy Award nominee for her roles in “I, Tonya” and “Bombshell.” Next up for her is a starring role in the film “Barbie,” based on the popular line of Mattel toys.
Q: Has there been any news on the Alaskan Bush family on the Brown’s son Matt? I’m amazed that none of them have mentioned him at all. – P.B.
A: Matt Brown left the Discovery Channel’s hit show “Alaskan Bush People” a couple years ago after he became addicted to alcohol and had a falling out with his family. He did a stay at the Betty Ford Center and has been sober for two years, but according to RadarOnline, the family, including his siblings, doesn’t want Matt back in the picture.
You can follow Matt on Instagram @MattBrown511, where he showcases his artwork and quiet new life in California.
