Fear Factor: House of Fear is a reality competition television series and spin-off of Fear Factor. It premiered January 11, 2026 on Fox and is hosted by Johnny Knoxville. The series format features a group of contestants living together in an isolated house as they compete in a variety of physical and mental challenges while navigating a strategic social game.

Format

In addition to extreme stunts, this incarnation of the series incorporates a social element, in which contestants live in a house together in a remote location. In season 1, fourteen contestants lived in a large house, where a social game was implemented. They were taken to various locations to perform physical and/or mental challenges where the winner(s) were granted immunity from the Endgame (an elimination round in which one or more contestants are sent home if they do not pass the challenge). The finalists compete in one final daring stunt, where the winner receives the $200,000 grand prize.[1][2][3]

The Season 1 finale was followed by a two-part, five-stunt special titled Fear Factor: 48 Hours of Fear. It contained elements of the sleep deprivation challenge from Season 4 of the original Fear Factor. It followed six new contestants who had to remain awake during the 48 hours of filming. All contestants wore shock collars, and if they closed their eyes or appeared to fall asleep, they were electrically shocked.

History

On May 12, 2025, it was announced that Fox would be reviving Fear Factor under the working title Fear Factor: The Next Chapter, with Johnny Knoxville announced as the host the following month.[4][5][6] The series was renamed Fear Factor: House of Fear in the announcement of its premiere date.[2] It began airing on January 11, 2026.[3] The house, (and respective challenges), were all shot in the Vancouver, Canada area.

Ethan Macmillan, a 20-year-old emergency dispatcher from East York, Toronto, won the first season in 2026.

In April 2026, House of Fear was renewed for a second season.[7]

Following the season finale, Fox announced that Knoxville would host a two-part, five-stunt special event titled Fear Factor: 48 Hours of Fear, which aired on May 14 and May 21, 2026.[8]
