MTV’s The Challenge is returning for its 35th season. This week, The Challenge: Total Madness was announced with a new group of rookies joining proven veterans for a season that will completely change how the game is played.
Season 35 of The Challenge will premiere on Wednesday, April 1 at 8:00 p.m. ET with new cast members who previously competed on Big Brother, Survivor, and The Amazing Race.
So what is the big change?
This season, cast members will not be able to float to the final. If you want to have a shot at taking home the $1 million grand prize, you will have to risk elimination by going into a one-on-one challenge with another cast member.
“The only way to make it into a final is to win an elimination,” host TJ Lavin said in the promo video for the season.
A full look at the cast for MTV’s The Challenge: Total Madness can be seen below.
