MTV brought back The Challenge: Ride or Dies for the 38th season, which is set to premiere on Wednesday, October 12, 2022, at 8 pm ET. For the first time in "Challenge" history, players will be paired with people they think are their "ride and die." Contestants are allowed to pick their own partners for the competition, who don't necessarily have to be blood-related. It can be anyone they are closest with and would put their trust in participating in the competition.
According to the press release, the cast will feature:
“best friends, exes and couples as they navigate the weekly mental and physical warfare together for their share of one million dollars."
It further states:
“These relationships will be put to the ultimate test as their teamwork, loyalty and trust will be challenged every step of the way. In this game, it all comes down to who you trust and who has your back, because this season of ‘The Challenge’ will either break bonds or tie two competitors together for life.”
