Special Forces: World's Toughest Test

About

Special Forces: World's Toughest Test is a reality television series that premiered on Fox in January 2023. The show is an adaptation of the British series SAS: Who Dares Wins and features celebrities undergoing a grueling quasi-military training course. The contestants, including athletes, actors, and reality TV stars, are subjected to physically and mentally demanding exercises designed to simulate the Special Forces selection process. The training is led by an elite team of ex-Special Forces operatives known as the Directing Staff (DS), who include Rudy Reyes, Jason Fox, Mark Billingham, and initially Remi Adeleke, later replaced by Jovon 'Q' Quarles in Season 2. The show's format differs from typical competition series as there are no formal eliminations. Contestants can voluntarily withdraw, be medically withdrawn, or be disqualified for failing specific tasks. The series tests participants' resilience, courage, and ability to cope with harsh environments and challenging situations. Filmed in various locations, including Jordan for Season 1 and New Zealand for Season 2, the show exposes contestants' deepest fears and pushes them to their limits. Season 3, filmed in Wales, introduces new challenges focusing on ocean warfare. The series is narrated by Shaun Dooley and has been renewed for multiple seasons, with each offering a unique set of challenges and environments.
