  • The Challenge: USA is a spin-off of the long running reality television series The Challenge. The first season premiered on CBS on July 6, 2022.[1][2]

    Background

    [edit]

    The Challenge: USA features cast members from CBS' reality shows: Big Brother, Love Island, Survivor, and The Amazing Race.[2]

    In February 2022, a new series of international seasons was announced to air later in the year. The series is comprised four new editions of The Challenge which included The Challenge: USA followed by The Challenge: Australia, The Challenge Argentina: El Desafío and The Challenge UK. These local renditions were followed by a fifth series in which available winners and select contestants of each series would compete again in Cape Town, South Africa on another season titled The Challenge: World Championship, which aired on Paramount+.[2][3][4]

    The show's second season expanded casting to include contestants from the MTV series competing against CBS cast members, and premiered on August 10, 2023. Unlike the first season, the second installment did not feature any cast member from Love Island.[5]
