Cartoon Network announced today that it has picked up additional episodes of the explosive live-action competition series Destroy Build Destroy. Slated to begin production on the new episodes in October, the new episodes will increase the action as two teams compete against one another, with the guidance and assistance of professionals, as they destroy a large structure, rebuild it into something different and then destroy it again. Host Andrew W.K. is back to moderate the mayhem, as each week new teams face new challenges to build from the debris, with strategy, wits and teamwork deciding which team's creation out-performs the other�and whose hard work goes up in smoke.

"We are eager to ramp up the competition, the builds and the destruction for the second season of Destroy, Build, Destroy," said Rob Swartz, vice president original series at Cartoon Network. "This season will be bigger and better than ever and we are lucky to have such an excellent host in Andrew WK."
