If there's any way to sum up what 'Undercover Billionaire' is all about, it's a show that truly embodies the spirit of the American dream. The new season follows three billionaires tasked with creating a new successful business, all within the span of 90 days. The show puts both, the billionaire and their new business, to the test, seeing whether both the billionaires and the businesses can withstand today's challenges.

Season 1 followed Glenn Stearns of Stearns Lending, a self-made billionaire with a net worth of $500M. In Season 1, Glenn posed as 'Glenn Bryant', a regular guy with just $100 dollars and a dream to start his own business. The show required him to start everything from scratch, and for someone who is a self-made man, the question was, could he really do it all over again? Glenn definitely managed to pull it off. He successfully opened a restaurant and created a brand, Underdog BBQ, in Eerie, Pennsylvania.
Season 2 is not much different from Season 1, although it does come with its own new exciting twist. This time around, we see not one but three billionaires, all belonging to different fields.

Release date

Catch the Season 2 premiere of 'Undercover Billionaire' on January 6 at 8 pm ET/PT on Discovery and streaming on Discovery+.

Plot

The plot is similar to that of Season 1. The three billionaires only have a phone (with no contacts), $100 and their expertise. They'll be then sent to different cities in the USA, where they must start and execute a successful business, all within 90 days. However, there's a bigger catch this time around — doing all of the above during a pandemic.
