Tom Sandoval is taking on yet another challenge in the brand new trailer for Season 2 of “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test,” which is set to premiere on Sept. 25.

The trailer gives a peek into some of the vigorous challenges that the stars will embark on throughout their time on “Special Forces,” equipped by a cast of notable names.

Currently filming “Vanderpump Rules” amid controversy that ensued after he cheated on his long-term partner Ariana Madix with their friend and co-star Raquel Leviss (which ended up landing the show two Emmy nominations), Sandoval now joins “Special Forces.” Sandoval will be joined by a slew of impressive (well, depends on which way you look at it) reality stars, actors, athletes and personalities for Season 2 of the Fox’s reality competition show.

The celebrity recruits for Season 2 of “Special Forces” are Sandoval; NFL star Dez Bryant; Bachelor Nation fan-favorite Tyler Cameron; Savannah Chrisley of “Chrisley Knows Best;” Kardashian ex Blac Chyna; “Beverly Hills, 90210” star and ’90s icon, Brian Austin Green; NBA champion Robert Horry; Olympic gold medalist speed skater Erin Jackson; Olympic ski racer Bode Miller; Jack Osbourne of “The Osbournes;” actor Tara Reid; influencer, host and producer Kelly Rizzo, who is the widow of Bob Saget; “Dance Moms” alum and global social media superstar JoJo Siwa; and former star of “The Bachelor,” Nick Viall.

Executive producers are Sophie Leonard, Liam Humphreys and Becky Clarke. Minnow Films produces the series.

PROGRAMMING

ABC is moving its “The Bachelor” franchise, including the first ever “Golden Bachelor,” to Thursdays this fall. ABC has revealed several tweaks to its fall plans, including the decision to pair “Golden Bachelor” and “Bachelor in Paradise” together on Thursday nights starting September 28.

“The Golden Bachelor” was originally slated to air Mondays at 10 p.m. ET in the fall, behind “Dancing With the Stars,” but will now air Thursdays at 8 p.m. ABC will announce what it will air instead in that slot at a later date. Also up in the air: Tuesday nights, as “Bachelor in Paradise” was originally scheduled to air on the night at 9 p.m., behind “Celebrity Jeopardy” at 8 p.m., but has now moved to Thursdays at 9 p.m.

The Ken Jennings-hosted “Celebrity Jeopardy!” is now moving to Wednesdays at 8 p.m., starting September 27, followed on the night by “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune” at 9 p.m. and “The $100,000 Pyramid” at 10 p.m. Those three gamers replace the previously announced “Judge Steve Harvey,” “Abbott Elementary” repeats and “What Would You Do,” which were originally set for Wednesday night airings. (No word on whether “Judge Steve Harvey,” those “Abbott” repeats and “What Would You Do?” will land elsewhere).

Also up in the air: “Press Your Luck,” originally slated to air Thursdays at 9 p.m.

Additionally, the 15th season of “Shark Tank” will debut on Friday, Sept. 29 at 8 p.m. followed by ABC News’ “20/20.” Sunday, Oct. 1 will sport the premiere of “AFV” at 7 p.m. and “The Wonderful World of Disney” at 8 p.m.

We look forward to bringing Dog Whisperer to fans who have not had an opportunity to watch in several years, as well as introducing the show to entirely new audiences for the very first time.”
