After filming

In 2015, Kit Hoover and Mark Long reunited on Access Hollywood for the 20 years anniversary of the series.[1]

In 2020, Mark Long started asking his followers if they'd be interested in seeing former cast members of The Challenge coming together for a new version of the series. After his idea went viral, he announced a partnership with Bunim/Murray Productions to further develop his project.[2] The Challenge: All Stars eventually premiered on Paramount+ on April 1, 2021.[3] The series was renewed for a second season, which premiered on November 11, 2021.[4] Long also partnered up with Objective Media Group to develop a cooking competition series.[5] In 2022, he competed on the 24th season of Worst Cooks in America.[6]
