Actor and singer Jussie Smollett is coming back to Fox in the new season of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.
Smollett is part of the new cast of 18 celebrity recruits in the fourth season of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, premiering this September. He and the other recruits will train in Morocco and try to survive the various challenges real life special forces agents do on a regular basis.
According to the official description:
This time around, the recruits will be training in Morocco and will endure the extreme circumstances of urban warfare. New this season, some recruits will arrive in pairs consisting of spouses and family members, but will compete individually. All recruits must learn the art of getting comfortable with being uncomfortable as they are faced with training challenges across the country’s expansive desert terrain, including a supply search in an abandoned village where they must race to extraction, a treacherous rat-run through dark and narrow tunnels, a plane shell dunk drill where pairs of recruits will be submerged underwater and must escape, a death-defying urban ladder crossing between buildings 50 ft above the urban streets, and much more. In this experiment, there are no votes and no eliminations – just survival. These celebrities, who are so used to being in the spotlight, will quickly learn the meaning of “no guts, no glory” – and no glam.
‘Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test’ Season 4 cast list
The celebs include Sister Wives star Kody Brown, TV personalities Brittany Cartwright, Gia Giudice and her mother Teresa Giudice, NFL pro bowler Randall Cobb, Former NFL players Eric Decker and Andrew East, Heisman winner and former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel, country music artist Jessie James Decker, Olympics gymnastics gold medalist Shawn Johnson East, internet personalities Mark Estes and Brianna LaPaglia, supermodel Chanel Iman, actress/model Eva Marcille, actor Ravi V. Patel, world cup and Olympic soccer champion Christie Pearce Rampone and NBA champion Nick Young.
The celebs will be trained by Directing Staff (DS) agents Rudy Reyes, Mark “Billy” Billingham, Jason “Foxy” Fox and Jovon “Q” Quarles, described as “an elite team of ex-special forces operatives.”
Smollett’s return to Fox is, of course, a big deal seeing how the last time we saw him on the network was as Jamal Lyon in Empire. We also haven’t seen him on the network since his Chicago trial surrounding his alleged 2019 hate crime hoax. Smollett has maintained his innocence before, during and after the trial. An upcoming Netflix documentary promises new evidence that could be Smollett’s favor.
When does ‘Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test’ Season 4 premiere?
Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test premieres on Fox on Sept. 25 at 9 p.m. ET.
