99 to Beat, hosted by Ken Jeong and Erin Andrews, premiered last fall on Fox and quickly became the network’s buzzy new format.
One hundred contestants tackle absurd physical and mental games — think oversized obstacle courses and ridiculous dexterity tests — with one brutal rule: finish last and you’re out.

The last player standing walks with $1 million. Season 1 already featured heavy hitters like Survivor legend Sandra Diaz-Twine and The Challenge’s Cara Maria Sorbello, proving the show loves tossing veterans into the mix. Now it looks like Season 2 is doubling down.
Fans are hyped and already choosing sides. “Oh, Brandon has this FOR SURE,” one Instagram commenter declared, while another cheered, “Let’s go Quinn!” A third simply wrote, “Can’t wait to see season 2,” echoing the excitement rippling through reality TV groups.
Some are already speculating the Nalbandian power couple could dominate the strategy side while Daya Betty brings the flair.
Filming details remain under wraps, but if these rumors hold, expect 99 to Beat Season 2 to crank the drama higher than ever when it hits Fox and Hulu later this year.
In a sea of 100 players, these reality vets know exactly how to play to the cameras — and how to avoid the dreaded last place.
Kicker: Forget alliances — in 99 to Beat, the only thing scarier than finishing last is trying to outrun your own edit.
