Tough as Nails is coming back for a fifth season.

More from Deadline

Hosted by Phil Keoghan, Tough as Nails “celebrates everyday Americans who consider the calluses on their hands a badge of honor.” For the first time, the show will be filmed in the Canadian steel-town of Hamilton, Ontario, and will feature essential workers from both the United States and Canada who are ready to test their strength, endurance, life skills and mental toughness in challenges that take place in real-world scenarios.

One by one, these workers are eliminated from the individual competition until a winner is crowned, but nobody goes home. Contestants who “punch out” of the individual competition continue to compete until the end of the season in a team competition with a chance of winning additional cash prizes.

Tough as Nails joins CBS’ recently announced summer lineup that includes Secret Celebrity Renovation, now premiering on Friday, Aug. 4; the 25th season of Big Brother starting Wednesday, Aug. 2 (followed by Thursday and Sunday editions); the musical game show Superfan debuting Wednesday, Aug. 9; and The Challenge: USA launching on Thursday, Aug. 10. All series will also be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
