However, it appears that the spinoff show will again be hosted by the longtime host of The Challenge, TJ Lavin.
Regarding a format or theme, could this spinoff season be similar to the World Championship, where Legends are paired with newer players? It could also have a Fresh Meat or War of the Worlds vibe.

A release date for The Challenge: USA Season 2 has yet to be revealed, but it seems likely before the end of the year as the franchise continues to release spinoffs.
