The race is on. After a punishing first season that saw teams trek across the Alaskan wilderness, USA Network is heading to New Zealand for season 2 of the competition reality series Race to Survive.
Race to Survive: New Zealand will follow teams of contestants as they navigate harsh terrain in a quest to take home a $500,000 prize. Winning won’t be easy. Cast members will have to endure challenging conditions and tough competition as they speed toward the finish line.
“This is a pass or fail evolution,” one contestant says in the trailer for the new season (via YouTube). “You either make it or you don’t. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other.”
“It’s not a race to survive,” another observes. “It’s being able to survive the race.”

Race to Survive Alaska reality TV competitor Hunter Leininger described a night from hell during the first race, vomiting blood and bile for eight hours, leaving his father, Jeff Leininger extremely worried.
The first challenge of the series kicked off with a bang, which included Esther Sunderlin’s terrifying medical rescue, but also Hunter’s extreme reaction to shellfish during the first night of the competition. Race to Survive Alaska viewers saw Hunter vomit, but he revealed how serious his condition was and how much weight he ultimately lost during the six-week race.

Exclusive: Bobby Bones-fronted social experiment Snake In The Grass won’t be returning to USA Network.
The NBCUniversal cable network has cancelled the reality series after one season.
It comes after the broadcaster renewed Blake Shelton and Carson Daly’s Barmageddon for a second season after it became its best series premiere in nearly three years.
Snake In The Grass and Barmageddon were both part of USA Network’s latest unscripted slate, which was unveiled last May. The slate also included Race To Survive Alaska, from Deadliest Catch producer Original Productions, which is launching in April.
Snake in the Grass saw groups of four strangers who are dropped into the wild with a chance to win $100,000. In order to win, the team had to figure out which one of them is the Snake – a saboteur who is secretly undermining the group every step of the way.
