"FEAR FACTOR: HOUSE OF FEAR" IS THE SEASON'S HIGHEST-RATED BROADCAST DEBUT AND THE #1 NEW UNSCRIPTED SERIES

Los Angeles, CA - April 23, 2026 - FOX Television Network has renewed its iconic reality competition series Fear Factor: House of Fear, hosted by Johnny Knoxville, for a second season, it was announced today by Michael Thorn, President of FOX Television Network. Knoxville returns to lead the high-stakes competition, where one contestant will conquer their fears, claim the grand prize, and earn the right to proclaim, "FEAR IS NOT A FACTOR!"

"Fear Factor: House of Fear instantly established itself as a signature unscripted series for FOX, and our audience can't get enough of how it takes them - and our contestants -- to the absolute edge with every episode," said Michael Thorn, President of FOX Television Network. "Johnny Knoxville's fearless, unpredictable energy makes him the perfect ringmaster, as he and our friends at Endemol have redefined this iconic format and elevated it into something fresh, addictive, highly competitive, and cringe-inducing in all the best ways. And believe it or not, they're already plotting new ways to raise the shock-and-awe quotient for Season Two."

"Bringing an icon like Fear Factor back to life required a host who could match its legacy, and Johnny Knoxville has been the ultimate catalyst for this evolution. He didn't just host Fear Factor: House of Fear; he became the heart of it," said Sharon Levy, Chief Executive Officer of Endemol Shine North America. "Earning the title of the most-streamed unscripted series this season is a massive win for ESNA and our incredible partners at FOX and shows the Fear format is as strong as ever. For Season Two, we're already plotting how to push the social strategy and physical stunts to even more visceral, stomach-turning heights. We are just getting started."

Set in an unforgiving remote location, Fear Factor: House of Fear features a group of strangers who live together under one roof while facing mind-blowing stunts, harrowing challenges, and a twisted game of social strategy where trust is fleeting - and fear is a weapon. In the end, only one contestant will conquer their fears and walk away with the massive grand prize.

The series has proven to be a breakout success. Fear Factor: House of Fear's debut episode delivered an impressive 16.5 million multiplatform viewers, ranking in Adults 18-49 as broadcast's #1 debut and the #1 new unscripted series of the season, reinforcing FOX as the dominant force in unscripted.
