The Challenge franchise is embarking on a new era with Season 42, officially titled The Challenge: Cutthroats. For the first time in the show’s history, the competition is leaving MTV and moving exclusively to Paramount+, marking a significant shift for the long-running series.
This season will film across multiple locations in Thailand, including Bangkok, Pattaya, and Chon Buri Province. Familiar host T.J. Lavin returns to guide contestants drawn from popular reality television shows such as The Real World, Love Island, Survivor, Big Brother, and Too Hot to Handle as they compete in challenging competitions.
Viewers can stream The Challenge: Cutthroats on Paramount+, with the premiere scheduled for Wednesday, August 5 at 3 a.m. ET, followed by weekly episode releases. New subscribers have several options to access the platform: Paramount+ Essential costs $8.99 monthly with advertisements, while Paramount+ Premium runs $13.99 monthly and removes ads from on-demand content. For those seeking free access, Walmart+ offers a 30-day free trial that includes Paramount+, and DirecTV Premier’s five-day trial also grants complimentary streaming access.
