Season 42 was filmed across Thailand, with production taking place in Bangkok, Pattaya and locations throughout the Chon Buri Province. According to Thailand's Tourism Authority, the season showcases everything from bustling city streets to coastal scenery and outdoor landscapes as competitors face the show's signature challenges.
Executive producer Justin Booth said Thailand offered exactly the kind of setting the series was looking for.
"Going into season 42, we wanted to showcase not only the competition fans know and love, but also the incredible sense of place that Thailand brings to the series."
Booth added that Bangkok's energy and the coastal landscapes of Pattaya and Chon Buri elevated every aspect of the competition.
Host T.J. Lavin echoed those comments, saying Thailand created "some of the most intense and exciting moments we've ever captured."
"The scenery, scale, and sense of adventure elevated every challenge, and I think fans are going to be blown away by what they see this season."
Why Thailand?
According to the Tourism Authority of Thailand, the partnership was designed to introduce international audiences to the country's cities, beaches and outdoor destinations while highlighting Thailand as a filming destination for major productions. The season incorporates urban environments, coastal views and natural landscapes into many of its competitions, making the location an integral part of the new season rather than simply a backdrop.
The new season also marks the return of the three-team "Cutthroat" format, inspired by the original 2010 season, as competitors fight for a share of the $500,000 grand prize beginning Aug. 5 on Paramount+. In fact, two of the original Cutthroat competitors are back for Return to Cutthroat—Brad Fiorenza, whose team won, and Cara Maria Sorbello, whose team came in second place.
The Challenge: Cutthroat season 42 premieres Wednesday, August 5 at 3 a.m. ET/12 a.m. PT on Paramount+ with two back-to-back episodes. Subsequent new episodes drop every Wednesday at the same time.
