‘Straight Up Steve Austin’ Renewed For Season 2 By USA Network

Denise Petski

USA Network has picked up an eight-episode second season of its hit unscripted series Straight Up Steve Austin for premiere this summer.

Hosted by retired WWE legend “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, the interview-based series was 2019’s No. 1 new unscripted cable series for Men 18-49 and Men 25-54, according to Nielsen L+3. In every episode, Steve and a celebrity guest head out to different cities across America to take part in one-of-a-kind adventures, while swapping stories about their lives and careers. Per USA, “it’s a unique twist on the standard interview show, with no studio, no couch and no cue cards — just a straight up good time and good old-fashioned American fun.”
