Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Sarah Sherman and Kyle Brandt, HUMAN VS. HAMSTER is an eight-episode competition series that features pet hamsters going toe-to-toe with teams of humans in scaled challenges that test their speed, strength, agility -- and, of course, their eating prowess -- all for the sake of answering the burning question: "Which species is superior, humans or hamsters?" Each one-hour episode feature two teams, and the team who wins the most challenges against the hamsters moves on to an epic obstacle course -- The Cage -- where they must escape before the hamsters to win. Brian Balthazar is the resident hamster enthusiast. All eight episodes of HUMAN VS. HAMSTER dropped on Thursday, November 21, 2024 on Max.
