'Tough as Nails' was renewed by CBS for both Seasons 3 and 4 in April 2021. Season 4 is expected to air in the spring of next year. The official synopsis reads: "Tough As Nails is a competition series that celebrates everyday Americans who roll up their sleeves and don't think twice about working long hard hours and getting their hands dirty, in order to keep their country running." 

Competitors are tested for their strength, endurance, agility, and mental toughness in challenges that take place every day in the real world. They are eventually eliminated until the ultimate champion is named. Even after they “punch out” of the individual competition, every participant has the opportunity to win additional prizes in the team competitions that continue throughout the season. The series redefines what it means to be tough!
