Fox has renewed the extreme competition series for a second season. Executive produced and hosted by Cena, season 1 featured 16 contestants who were pushed to their limits in a series of challenges that tested strength, willpower, and teamwork. The only way to leave the competition was to give up, and by the end of the series, one man and one woman were left standing. Clare “The Fisherman” Painter and Mark “The Lumberjack” Bouquin won the first season, which ended in June. Casting for season 2 has already begun. Per a press release, the series is looking for “everyday” men and women who are “ready to find their inner strength and transform their lives for the better.” For more information, visit FindYourStrengthCasting.com
