Fox has renewed “Fear Factor: House of Fear” for a second season with Johnny Knoxville returning to host, Deadline reports.
The first season premiered in January with 16.5 million multiplatform viewers, ranking as the number one broadcast debut and top new unscripted series of the season in the 18-49 demographic.
This version of the reality competition series drops 14 strangers into a remote location to live together and face mind-blowing stunts, harrowing challenges, and a twisted game of social strategy where trust is fleeting — and fear is a weapon.
Only one winner conquers all their fears and walks away with the grand prize: $200,000.
The series is produced by Endemol Shine North America. Executive producers include Kevin Lee, Anthony Carbone, Lindsay Tuggle, and Endemol Shine’s Sharon Levy, Michael Heyerman, & Sean Loughlin.
“’Fear Factor: House of Fear’ instantly established itself as a signature unscripted series for Fox, and our audience can’t get enough of how it takes them – and our contestants — to the absolute edge with every episode,” said Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television Network. “Believe it or not, they’re already plotting new ways to raise the shock-and-awe quotient for season two.”
Joe Rogan hosted “Fear Factor” during its original run on NBC from 2001-2006 and again for its revival in 2011-2012. Ludacris served as host for MTV’s iteration of the show from 2017-2018.
Knoxville has Jackass 5 coming out on June 26 and followed by Osgood Perkins’ The Young People, due out this year. He’s also set to star in the psychological thriller Night Sessions.
