It’s been a year since the Television Academy put a halt to officially sanctioned Emmy For Your Consideration events, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, they’re set to finally return next week — but virtually, of course.
Emmy FYC events make a comeback on March 24 with two events at 7 p.m. Pt. Nat Geo will kick things off with a dual panel for its unscripted adventure series “Running Wild” (hosted by Bear Grylls) and the new competition “Race to the Center of the Earth,” from the executive producers behind “The Amazing Race.”
At the same time, the Netflix documentary series “Immigration Nation” will also hold its own virtual panel.
Netflix is also behind most of the other already confirmed panels: “Lenox Hill”, “Indian Matchmaking”, “Deaf U”, “Somebody Feed Phil” and “The Social Dilemma”. Also, already confirmed for an FYC event is Fox’s “Call Me Kat” on April 9 at 7 p.

As The Amazing Race co-creators and executive producers Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri are making Race To the Center of the Earth, NatGeo’s first global competition series, they’re incorporating the same type of efficiency and organization as they plan the complicated routes four teams will take in the nonstop sprint around the world.
Although the winning team will split a $1 million prize, van Munster and Doganieri insisted at TCA today that this Race is different because the participants are adventure junkies looking to push themselves to the limit on various continents. None of the adventurers is a professional athlete; all they share is their love of adventure and a desire to test their own limits. The show promises to combine a survival show with the cinematic look and feel of an action film.
