Contestants will live together and face a series of extreme challenges involving disgusting food, scary animals, fire, heights, and other difficult obstacles. They’ll try to conquer their fears for a chance to win a big prize, but ultimately, only one person will be the winner.
The new series, Fear Factor: The Next Chapter, will debut in January, and the preview shows it’s packed with intense challenges and surprising moments. Host Johnny Knoxville will bring his characteristic wit and enthusiasm as he leads contestants through each frightening obstacle.
Steve-O is famous for being a star and producer on the Jackass series. More recently, he’s been in the Apple TV comedy The Studio and the movie The Luckiest Man in America.
