"Johnny Knoxville's fearless, unpredictable energy makes him the perfect ringmaster - Michael Thorn"

Washington DC, April 24

The competition series 'Fear Factor: House of Fear' has been renewed for Season 2, Fox announced Thursday. Johnny Knoxville will return to host the competition series.

According to Variety, a reboot of the popular 2000s show that ran for seven seasons, on 'Fear Factor: House of Fear,' a group of strangers living together in a remote location will conquer their fears, claim the grand prize and earn the right to proclaim.

As per the show's official logline, "Fear is not a factor! In the end, only one contestant will conquer their fears and walk away with the massive grand prize."

The show's official Instagram handle shared the poster on its Instagram handle on Thursday.

According to Variety, the 'Fear Factor: House of Fear' instantly established itself as a signature unscripted series for Fox, and our audience can't get enough of how it takes them - and our contestants - to the absolute edge with every episode," said Michael Thorn, president of Fox Television Network, in a statement.

"Johnny Knoxville's fearless, unpredictable energy makes him the perfect ringmaster, as he and our friends at Endemol have redefined this iconic format and elevated it into something fresh, addictive, highly competitive, and cringe-inducing in all the best ways. And believe it or not, they're already plotting new ways to raise the shock-and-awe quotient for Season Two," added Thorn as quoted by Variety.

Since the show's debut earlier this year, 'Fear Factor: House of Fear's debut episode delivered 16.5 million multiplatform viewers, per Fox, as quoted by Variety.

Can't believe they're doing a second season. The whole "house of fear" concept sounds like Big Brother meets a horror movie. We already have so much stress in real life, why watch people scream and cry on TV? 🙄

Yaar, at least it's better than watching news channels argue all day. But why do they need a whole house of strangers? Just put them in a locked room with Indian traffic for 24 hours - that's real fear! 😂 Anyway, I'll probably binge it on weekend with some chai.

Johnny Knoxville is a good host, but I'm skeptical about this reboot. The original show was great because it was simple - eat bugs, jump off things, done. Now they're making it into a whole reality drama. Still, the ratings speak for themselves. I'll give it a chance for Season 2.

16.5 million views?! That's almost half our country's population watching! 😅 Though honestly, these Fear Factor shows are just glorified torture porn. We've got real fears in India - like paying bills on time or finding an auto in the rain. But I guess entertainment is entertainment. Johnny Knoxville is entertaining, I'll give them that.

Yaar, why can't they make something original instead of rebooting old shows? But I admit, I watched a few episodes of Season 1 with my cousins and we couldn't stop screaming. It's addictive in a trashy way. Knoxville brings that Jackass energy which works. Just wish they had more Indian contestants! 🇮🇳
