The new season of “Relative Race” will premiere this Sun. Sept. 22. An episode filmed in Natchitoches is expected to air Sunday, Oct. 20. The episode was filmed in May when Chris and DeShae Pardon travelled to Natchitoches in their search for family. Did they meet relatives?
Tune in to BYUtv, available via an app for Roku televisions or by logging on to byutv.org and clicking on Relative Race season 6 to stream. The genealogy-based show is in its sixth season and operates on a format similar to The Amazing Race.
One team of contestants traced, and chased, their DNA to Natchitoches. The premise of the show has four teams on an emotional 10-day journey throughout the United States as they complete challenges and discover unknown relatives identified through DNA testing.
The winning team receives a $50,000 grand prize.
