Subject: [NEWS] "Fear Factor: House fo Fear" renewed for season 2 ("reality" competition)



Hit Fox TV Show Renewed for Season 2 After Big Milestone
--------------------------------------------------------
Fox has finally ordered the Season 2 renewal of one of its latest
hit reality TV shows, which debuted earlier this year. Titled
Fear Factor: House of Fear, the new show served as a revival of
an iconic dare competition show, which originally lasted for
seven seasons on NBC from 2001 to 2011.

Per Deadline, Season 1's debut episode garnered 16.5M multiplatform
viewers, making it the most-streamed unscripted show of the season.
Host Johnny Knoxville (Jackass) will be returning for the next
installment, which is expected to premiere next year.

"Dropped into an unforgiving, remote location, a group of strangers
lives together under one roof, 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 contestant
conquers all their fears and walks away with the massive grand
prize," reads the official synopsis.

What did Fox say about the Fear Factor revival's renewal?
"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," Fox Television Network president Michael
Thorn said in a statement. "Johnny Knoxville's fearless,
unpredictable energy makes him the perfect ringmaster, as he and our
friends at Endemol have redefined this iconic format and elevated it
into something fresh, addictive, highly competitive, and
cringe-inducing in all the best ways. And believe it or not, they're
already plotting new ways to raise the shock-and-awe quotient for
Season 2."

Endemol Shine North America boss Sharon Levy added, "Bringing an
icon like Fear Factor back to life required a host who could match
its legacy, and Johnny Knoxville has been the ultimate catalyst for
this evolution. He didn't just host Fear Factor: House of Fear; he
became the heart of it. Earning the title of the most-streamed
unscripted series this season is a massive win for ESNA and our
incredible partners at Fox and shows the Fear format is as strong as
ever. For Season 2, we're already plotting how to push the social
strategy and physical stunts to even more visceral, stomach-turning
heights. We are just getting started."

Fear Factor: House of Fear is produced by Endemol Shine North America,
with Kevin Lee, Anthony Carbone, Lindsay Tuggle, Levy, Michael
Heyerman, and Sean Loughlin serving as executive producers. For
Season 1, a 20-year-old emergency dispatcher, Ethan Macmillan, won the
grand prize of $200,000. The final challenges involved a tank filled
with alligator gar and speeding semi-trucks.
