Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test Season 4 debuts on FOX from Morocco
Teresa Giudice, Gia Giudice and Jussie Smollett lead a high-profile cast as FOX launches a 10-day endurance challenge in a new locale.
Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test returns to FOX for Season 4, this time filmed in Morocco, where a group of celebrities is put through a 10-day series of adrenaline-fueled challenges designed to test physical and mental endurance. The venture remains a rigorous, reality-based test led by a team of former Special Forces operatives who supervise the course and determine whether contestants stay or withdraw. The only ways to exit the grueling program are voluntary withdrawal, medical withdrawal, or removal by the directing staff.
The season features a prominent lineup, including Teresa Giudice and her daughter Gia Giudice, along with Brittany Cartwright, Eva Marcille, Shawn Johnson East, Andrew East, Jessie Dames Decker, Eric Decker, Kody Brown, Jussie Smollett, Brianna LaPaglia, Chanel Iman, Mark Estes, Randall Cobb, Johnny Manziel, Christie Pearce Rampone, Ravi V. Patel, and Nick Young. The cast blends athletes, actors and reality personalities as they navigate the Morocco-set course under the supervision of former operators Billy Billingham, Jovon “Q” Quarles, Jason “Foxy” Fox, and Rudy Reyes.
FOX will air Season 4 on Thursday nights, with the premiere slated for Sept. 25. The first episode is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. Eastern and Pacific time, continuing the show’s Thursday-night timeslot as contestants endure a new set of challenges in a different environment. Viewers should expect the same high-stakes format: contestants undergo a series of physically demanding tasks, sleep deprivation, and stress-inducing scenarios, with the risk of elimination limited to withdrawal or staff decisions rather than conventional competition-based voting.
For fans who still rely on cable, Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test will air on FOX at 9 p.m. each Thursday. Cord-cutters can stream the show live through platforms such as Fubo, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV and Sling TV. New episodes typically become available the following Friday on Hulu, and FOX offers a one-week free trial through FOX Now for those looking to sample the season without a long-term commitment. Families and viewers across the country will be able to follow the evolving narratives of the cast as they attempt to complete the 10-day course in a harsh, unfamiliar setting.
As the season unfolds, the show’s format and its roster of well-known personalities are expected to draw both fans of the celebrities and viewers who follow endurance-based reality programming. The Morocco setting provides a distinct backdrop that reshapes the pacing and difficulty of the trials, contributing to the sense of challenge and risk that the series has emphasized since its inception. The production notes emphasize safety measures and medical oversight, while reiterating that the core drama comes from the participants’ limits being pushed in ways that test endurance, resilience, and teamwork."
