FOX’s ultimate celebrity social experiment, Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, returns for a second season, enlisting a new troop of fourteen household names to endure some of the harshest, most grueling challenges from the playbook of the actual Special Forces selection process. This time around, the recruits will be faced with the harsh reality of winter warfare training on the mountains of New Zealand where the terrain and freezing temperatures are brutal and the tasks will feel like torture. There are no votes, and no eliminations – just survival. These celebrities, who are so used to being in the spotlight, will quickly learn the meaning of “no guts, no glory” – and no glam. The only way for these recruits to leave is to give up on their own accord, through failure or potential injury, or by force from the DS. Who will survive, who will fail?

The recruits are captured and taken into their final stage of selection: 12 hours of military-grade interrogation. Resistance and the will to survive are key, and only the strongest recruits will pass the course.

The remaining recruits are tasked with submerging themselves in icy water, learning to maintain composure in life-threatening conditions. Then, the recruits simulate infiltrating enemy infrastructure by racing each other down 330-foot dam.

The celebrity recruits learn how difficult the world of Special Forces is when they're put to the test of safely protecting a convoy under a surprise attack. The ambush challenges their ability to make decisions in extreme conditions and tests who is strong enough to remain.

With the final stage of selection nearing, the Directing Staff push the recruits to their breaking point - physically, mentally and emotionally - to prove whether or not they truly want to pass. The recruits are taken to a remote mountain range where they are tasked with pulling sleds through two miles of dangerous terrain, then later escaping invasion from enemy hunters, before they take on their last 24 hours of selection.
