The fifth season of Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test is confirmed to premiere on Fox on September 24 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, with episodes streaming the next day on Hulu, and its all-star cast spans athletes, actors, reality stars, and public figures. Notable entrants include Candace Cameron Bure, Collin Gosselin, Brandi Glanville, and George Santos, with others such as Matt Barnes, Alycia Baumgardner, LeSean McCoy, Maxim Naumov, Ruby Rose, Hannah Stocking, Breana Tiesi, and the Umansky duo, among others. The format centers on gruelling jungle-style challenges in Malaysia, where there are no votes or eliminations, emphasizing survival, teamwork, and endurance rather than competition. Santos is highlighted as a politically charged addition among the lineup, drawing attention beyond the physical competition. The show’s producers describe recruits as facing a suite of demanding tasks—underground bunker searches, high-suspended load retrievals, and chemical exposure exercises—designed to test strength, fear, and resilience. These articles together paint a season built on a diverse cast and a return to the tough, no-elimination survival premise that defines the series.
