MTV’s “The Challenge: Ride or Dies” Premieres Wednesday, October 12th @ 8PM ET/PT [VIDEO]

MTV today announced that the highly anticipated new season of The Challenge: Ride or Dies will premiere on Wednesday, October 12th @ 8PM ET/PT. This season, players and viewers will see if the seemingly unbreakable bonds between friends, family, and partners survive the competition, chaos, and conniving of The Challenge.

For the first time ever, the critically-acclaimed competition franchise will pair cast members with their “Ride or Die,” featuring a cast of best friends, exes, and couples as they navigate the weekly mental and physical warfare together for their share of one million dollars. These relationships will be put to the ultimate test as their teamwork, loyalty, and trust will be challenged every step of the way. In this game, it all comes down to who you trust and who has your back, because this season of The Challenge will either break bonds or tie two competitors together for life.
