CBS has added season five of the reality competition series Tough as Nails to its 2023 summer lineup. The new season will kick off with a two-hour premiere on July 2nd at 8pm ET/PT, with new episodes airing on Sundays and Fridays throughout the summer.
Series creator Phil Keoghan returns to host the competition, which, for the very first time, will feature competitors from the United States and Canada.
Per CBS: “Tough as Nails is a competition series that celebrates everyday Americans who consider the calluses on their hands a badge of honor. For the first time, the show filmed in the Canadian ‘Steeltown’ of Hamilton, Ontario, and will feature essential workers from both the United States and Canada who are ready to test their strength, endurance, life skills, and mental toughness in challenges that take place in real-world scenarios.
One by one, these workers are eliminated from the individual competition until a winner is crowned, but nobody goes home. Contestants who ‘punch out’ of the individual competition continue to compete until the end of the season in a team competition with a chance of winning additional cash prizes.”
