Backpacks on your shoulders. Beijing Express begins. The new edition of the Sky Original show produced by Banijay Italia debuts tonight at 9.15pm. 10 couples compete with physical tests, intelligence tests, general culture tests but, above all, hitchhiking and requests for accommodation made to local strangers.
Costantino della Gherardesca is hosting it for the 13th consecutive time while this year’s novelty is the three correspondents: Giulia Salemi, Guido Meda and Lillo. The itinerary? Indonesia, China and Japan.
We at uisjournal.com met the cast of Beijing Express 2026 before the debut of the series and were told a few anecdotes about this experience.
Giulia Salemi: “Pechino Express? Intense but I rested after giving birth”
Chanel Totti: “I’m a normal girl, I go to university. TV? I’m not interested”
