Season 34 of The Challenge will be War of the Worlds 2, as players from the United States and United Kingdom face off against one another for the final prize. MTV announced on August 9 that the new season of its hit show will premiere on Wednesday, August 28 at 8:00 p.m. This time around, the episodes will be expanded to 90 MINUTES, so there’s clearly a lot of content to get to us viewers!
War of the Worlds 2 will be the ultimate battle of U.S. vs. U.K. There will be 14 players on each team, with the competitors vying for their share of a $1 million prize. The premiere episode will feature a challenge, with the winning team getting the opportunity to have first pick from a group of “reinforcements.” The reinforcements are CT Tamburello, Natalie “Ninja” Duran, Dee Nguyen and Turabi “Turbo” Camkiran, who won last season, War of the Worlds. CT is an accomplished vet of The Challenge, while Turbo, Dee and Ninja all proved themselves as tough competitors in their rookie season earlier this year.
