Overview
- The new season premieres November 7 on M6 with long-time host Stéphane Rotenberg returning.
- Filming in March spanned the country from south to north as temperatures dropped from about −4°C to −28°C with daily snowfall, according to Rotenberg.
- Rotenberg called it the most logistically demanding shoot to date, citing cold-fragile equipment and the challenge of filming heavily bundled contestants.
- Production says Kazakhstan, which had previously declined to host the show, granted access for this edition.
- Eight pairs will compete in snowy conditions, including 19-year-old Lyçaona from Calonges, who paused her studies to take part.
