Fear Factor Reboot

You read that right! Fear Factor is heading back to TV with 12 all new episodes that will air on MTV starting May 30th. The new Fear Factor show will be hosted by rapper and Fast and Furious star Ludacris. The new Fear Factor will be going for a different approach then the original gross over the top stunts it became infamous for. In an interview with THR (Hollywood Reporter) MTV president Chris McCarthy said the following

“We are updating the challenges that will include fresh physical stunts and mental challenges, relevant to today's culture. Each episode will provide contestants the platform to test their physical, emotional and mental strength, as well as the opportunity to overcome their biggest fears. No two episodes will be alike. We’re not about grossing out for gross out sake. This is an adrenaline-filled show that is about testing physical, mental and emotional strength, as well as the ability to overcome our biggest fears. “

It sounds like we will definitely be getting an all new Fear Factor. Especially if there isn't going to be any "Grossing out for the sake of grossing out" which is what was Fear Factors bread and butter back in the day.

None the less will you be tuning into MTV on May 30th for the new Fear Factor?
