Fans of Dwayne Johnson and 'The Titan Games' Season 1, your wait has almost come to an end. Season 2 of the reality show will be premiering soon and promises a lot of intense athletic action and drama. In this show, different people from all walks of life will compete against professional athletes, including Olympic gold medalists, NFL stars and UFC champions. The winning male and female contestants will win a staggering prize of $100,000. If one of the professional athletes wins, their prize money will go to a charity of their choosing.

The first episode will premiere on May 25, NBC at 8 pm. It will be a two-hour premiere, where we will be introduced to numerous contestants and 'Titans'. Dwayne Johnson, who is producing the show, is also the host and will oversee the numerous challenges, that will test the mental and physical power of the contestants and push them to the brink. Can they survive it? And who will win? 

There are 13 episodes and they had managed to wrap it up before coronavirus pandemic managed to dig in its claws. 

MEA WorldWide spoke to a handful of contestants on the show, who seemed to have had a ball of a time. One of the participants, Dasha Kuret, who is an American fitness model, ring announcer and professional wrestler, spoke about the show, and how it felt working with Dwayne Johnson. "He's one of the coolest people ever. He's always got high energy. He's such a motivational individual, you feed off (his) positivity and his energy. It's pretty funny because growing up, people always say you never want to meet somebody that you looked up to because they never meet that expectation. He's one of those people that actually goes above that expectation you had. He's such a philanthropist and he lives and breathes health, fitness and positivity," she said. She also emphasized that this reality show wasn't like others and there was no backstabbing on the show. The competitors are still very good friends with each other, and are in constant touch, every day.

It's going to be a hell of a ride, so grab hold of your seats and tune into 'The Titan Games' on NBC.
