Paramount+ has announced the highly anticipated cast line-up for the upcoming global tournament The Challenge: World Championship, which is set to premiere on Thursday, 9 March.
Joining long-time host TJ Lavin to kick off the premiere episode are global hosts Brihony Dawson (Australia), Mark Wright (U.K.) and Alejandro “Marley” Wiebe (Argentina).
In the franchise’s first-ever world tournament, each global MVP will be paired with a “Challenge” Legend, a notable veteran from previous seasons of the MTV series, who will serve as their partner to form the most epic teams in the history of the franchise. Together they will work towards the most difficult challenge of them all: the brutal finale worth US$500,000.
