Panthers great Cam Newton starring in ‘toughest’ celebrity reality show

Carolina Panthers legend Cam Newton has gone to battle on the gridiron plenty of times. But has that prepared him for something a little bit closer to actual warfare?

Newton has been announced as one of 16 celebrities who will star in the upcoming season of FOX’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. The reality series will see its contestants undergo military training to face the “harshest, most grueling challenges from the playbook of the actual Special Forces selection process,” according to FOX.

This season is set from Wales, England—where celebrities will train against the “harsh reality” of ocean warfare.

Here’s the trailer, which was released on Friday:

Newton is joined by the following celebrities:

  • Nathan Adrian (Olympic swimmer)
  • Stephen Baldwin (actor)
  • Alana Blanchard (pro surfer)
  • Landon Donovan (former pro soccer player)
  • Ali Fedotowsky Manno (reality TV star)
  • Carey Hart (motocross champion)
  • Brody Jenner (reality TV star)
  • Marion Jones (Olympic track and field athlete)
  • Kayla Nicole (model/influencer)
  • Kyla Pratt (actress)
  • Denise Richards (actress)
  • Christy Carlson Romano (actress)
  • Trista Sutter (reality TV star)
  • Golden Tate (former NFL wide receiver)
  • Jordyn Wieber (Olympic gymnast)

The season premiere will air on Wednesday, Jan. 8 at 8 p.m. ET.
