Plot Synopsis

Based on the British TV series SAS: WHO DARES WINS, SPECIAL FORCES: WORLD'S TOUGHEST TEST is a reality series that features 16 celebrities enduring some of the harshest, most grueling challenges from the playbook of the actual Special Forces selection process. There are no votes, and no eliminations -- just survival. These celebrities, who are so used to being in the spotlight, quickly learn the meaning of "no guts, no glory" -- and no glam. Selection for the Special Forces is a test unlike any other. Sixteen celebrities from all genres take on, and try to survive, demanding training exercises led by Directing Staff (DS) agents Rudy Reyes, Mark "Billy" Billingham, Jason "Foxy" Fox, and Remi Adeleke, an elite team of ex-special forces operatives. In this series, the only way for these recruits to leave is to give up on their own accord, through failure or potential injury, or by force from the DS. Viewers see the recruits face the harshest of environments that simulate the highly classified selection process, pushing themselves in a way they have never been challenged before. The series is the ultimate test of their physical, mental and emotional resilience -- revealing the celebrities' deepest and truest character. Who will quit, who will survive?
