Elsewhere, Road Rules is returning with a new roster of Road Warriors. The series ran between 1995 and 2007 for 14 seasons. These strangers will be abandoned in a far-flung location and stripped of their modern-day luxuries by boarding a restricted life in an RV, traveling from location to location. They will be guided by a set of clues, odd jobs, and missions for money. If they last to the end of the trip, they walk away with the life-changing prize.

The Challenge: All Stars will see 22 contestants from the original Real World and Road Rules return for a second chance. They will compete for a $500,000 prize.

The reality slate was announced at Paramount+’s launch event by Chris McCarthy, president of MTV Entertainment Group.
