Plot Synopsis

Hosted by John Cena and Nicole Byer, with Camille Kostek serving as field host, the new version of WIPEOUT includes new course elements and format twists that push contestants' athleticism, endurance, and determination to even greater extremes as they fight to win the grand cash prize. Each game has been designed into three rounds and now features a three-stage obstacle course consisting of multiple strategy and decision points designed to test the stamina of the competitors. The series' iconic big balls also make a return, bringing many laughs and surprises along the way for fans.

On Sunday, August 1, 2021 at 9pm ET/PT, TBS premiered "The Suicide Squad Special," a one-hour WIPEOUT special, with the cast of SUICIDE SQUAD and writer-director James Gunn tackling the course.

Season 2 of WIPEOUT premiered on Tuesday, November 7, 2023 at 9pm ET/PT on TBS. Hosts John Cena and Nicole Byer return for the new season, which features updated courses that are bigger and wetter than ever. Each episode features a collection of new contestants racing their way through water, slime, mud, and the series' iconic big red balls for the chance to win a grand prize of $25,000. Field host Camille Kostek returns to provide interviews and commentary from the sidelines of the three main courses: The Qualifier, The Gauntlet, and The Wipeout Zone. New Season 2 challenges include the "Ding Dong Damage" trap door, the "Face Time with Nicole" heavy hammer, and the "Backboned" moving bridge. As competitors try to display athleticism, endurance, and balance, Cena and Beyer offer comedic commentary for every epic fall and spectacular save. At the end of each episode, one team claims the top prize. In the season opener, "Big Ball Bromance," newly single ladies spend their hot girl summer on the craziest course ever. Plus, original WIPEOUT host John Henson makes a cameo appearance as a special fan treat!
