In this season, people from all walks of life will go up against professional athletes, for a staggering prize of 100,000 dollars. "This season of The Titan Games is going to be even bigger than last season," Johnson said in an official statement. "We created an incredible new Titan arena with new insane challenges, and we've selected some of the fiercest competitors we've ever seen... All of the men and women are true athletes and competitors who give it their all in the Titan arena."
