A cohort of celebrity recruits will be reduced to numerical monikers, camo uniforms and barren accommodations as they train for military warfare on the newest season of "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test."
The American iteration of the reality competition show, which was adapted from the British series "SAS: Who Dares Wins," is set to return for Season 4 on Thursday, Sept. 25.
It follows a group of famous contestants, who are known as recruits, as they endure challenges inspired by real military selection courses. They are led through the tests by a roster of actual special forces veterans including Rudy Reyes, Jovon "Q" Quarles, Jason "Foxy" Fox and Mark "Billy" Billingham.
This season, the recruits include 18 big names including television personalities, influencers and former professional athletes. For the first time, the course will also test familial ties as several pairs of married couples and even a mother-daughter duo will compete together.
