It is going to be an all-out war when The Challenge returns to MTV later this month. On Friday, MTV announced the cast and gave fans an exclusive first look at the upcoming season titled The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2.
The decision to continue the “War of the Worlds” theme comes after last season saw record-high ratings for MTV. The upcoming 34th season will see 14 UK stars battle against 14 US stars with the show returning to a two-team format for the first time since 2009.
Team USA features some Challenge veterans like Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio, Chris “C.T.” Tamburello, Wes Bergmann, and Cara Maria Sorbello. Bananas is back for a record 19th season and is likely out for blood after being the second to go home last year.
Team UK features veterans like Kyle Christie, Joss Mooney, Georgia Harrison, and last season’s runner-up Theo Campbell.
