An Exclusive Look at the Competitors of Season 2 of The Titan Games
An Olympic boxer and a Super Bowl champion are among the professional athletes this season.
It's time to meet the new cast and Titans for an all-new season of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's competition show. Season Two of The Titan Games, set to premiere on May 25, will feature six well-known athletes around the world to accept the challenge as the Titans to reign over Mount Olympus and cold onto their titles.
Olympic gold-medal boxer and world champion Claressa Shields, NFL Iron Man legend Joe Thomas, Super Bowl champion Victor Cruz, Olympic gold-winning snowboarder Hannah Teter, stuntwoman and "American Ninja Warrior" star Jessie Graff and five-time UFC champion Tyron Woodley all join the new season where they will defend their "Titan" titles and compete against everyday athletes in various competitions. "This season of The Titan Games is going to be even bigger than last season," host and executive producer Johnson said in an official statement. "We created an incredible new Titan arena with new insane challenges, and we've selected some of the fiercest competitors we've ever seen... All of the men and women are true athletes and competitors who give it their all in the Titan arena."
In a twist from last season, this year's competition will break down into three regions across the U.S.: West, Central and East. One male and one female athlete will reign as Titans of each region, and each episode will see two contestants of each gender battle for a chance to compete on Mount Olympus, the final challenge that will test their strength, speed, stamina and heart.
In order to gain the title of Titan, the contestants will have to best the professional athletes and maintain their spot on top of Mount Olympus. In the finale, the reigning Titans will return to battle against each other. In the end, one man and one woman will emerge as Titan Champion, with each winning a grand prize of $100,000. If one of the professional athletes comes out victorious, the prize money will go to a charity of their choosing.
NBC provided Men’s Health with official information on all of the competitors on The Titan Games. Get ready for an awesome season combined with just the right amount of heart and soul for competition.
