Special Forces Season 4 Cast Announced: Teresa Giudice, Jussie Smollett, and More.

Season 4 of Fox’s extreme competition series will kick off on Thursday, September 25 at 9 p.m. ET. The new group of recruits is ready to tackle some of the toughest missions the show has ever seen.

According to DEADLINE Top recruits include Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice and actor-singer Jussie Smollett. They won’t be solo: Teresa’s daughter, Gia Giudice, of Bravo’s Next Gen NYC, will enlist alongside her.

From the Bravo universe, The Valley’s Brittany Cartwright and former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Eva Marcille are also gearing up for the “world’s toughest test.”

TV personalities rounding out the cast are Kody Brown from Sister Wives, and social media stars Mark Estes and Brianna LaPaglia.

Athletic firepower comes from World Cup champ Christie Pearce Rampone, NFL legends Randall Cobb, Eric Decker, Andrew East, and Johnny Manziel, as well as **NBA champ *Nick Young* and Olympic Gold Medalist Shawn Johnson East.

Country singer Jessie James Decker, supermodel Chanel Iman, and actor Ravi V. Patel will also battle the elements, proving that the Special Forces pressure cooker welcomes stars from every corner of entertainment.

The 18 recruits must learn to be at home with discomfort as they tackle training tests spread across the vast desert landscape of the nation.

They will hunt a missing supply drop in a ghost village and race against the clock to reach the pick-up zone; they will edge through dark, tight tunnels that feel like a bad dream; they will do the shell-dunk drill, where partners are strapped into a submerged fuselage and forced to fight their way to the surface; they will crawl across a wobbling ladder strung 50 feet above city alleys; and they will face many other endurance tests.

This experiment has no votes and no cut list—only the grit to keep moving forward. The celebrities, who usually trade on their stylized image, will soon learn that in this world, ‘‘no guts, no glory’’ means no lighting crew, no filters, and no fancy perks.

Minnow Films produces Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. Executive producers are Becky Clarke, Liam Humphreys, and Dave Sutton.
