Netflix continues to expand its reality TV offerings with Battle Camp, a new competition series. But while the show is new, the contestants should be familiar faces to Netflix viewers. The Battle Camp cast includes stars from The Mole, Too Hot To Handle, Squid Game: The Challenge, and more. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming series streaming on Netflix.
The Battle Camp cast returning to Netflix
18 Netflix stars are set to compete on the streaming service’s new crossover series. And there are some pretty notable alums in the mix. For instance, remember Love Is Blind Season 4 villain Irina? She was infamous both as the season’s mean girl and for her disastrous courtship with Zac. Irina claims she’s done a lot of work on herself in the last two years. But she may have to reach into that more ruthless side to beat the competition.
Also onboard for her first competition series is Lexi from The Ultimatum: Queer Love. She jokes that she’ll bring “brains, brawn, and definitely a lot of boobs” to the campground.
There are also plenty of Too Hot To Handle alums at the camp, including Season 6 winner Bri and Season 5 and 6 rule breaker Louis. Too Hot To Handle alums Chase and Georgia also signed on. They previously crossed paths on Season 1 of Perfect Match, which Georgia won. Another Perfect Match Season 1 star in the cast is Nick from The Circle Season 3.
While there’s plenty of dating show alums, a lot of the campers are from Netflix’s other competition series. From The Mole, we have fan favorite gamer Avori and Season 2 villain Tony. Squid Game: The Challenge’s Lorenzo and Trey, as well as Cheer’s Gabi and Morgan, also know their way around a fierce competition.
Kyle is ready to reclaim victory after he didn’t win The Circle Season 6. His co-star Quori-Tyler, aka QT, is at the Battle Camp as well. Another The Circle star onboard is Shubham from Seasons 1 and 5.
Selling The OC stars Gio and Polly are taking time away from the Oppenheim Group for Battle Camp. This competition should be as stressful as an average day at that dramatic Orange County office!
What’s the Battle Camp release date on Netflix?
All 10 episodes of Battle Camp Season 1 will be released April 23 on Netflix. Each episode includes challenges, punishments, and group votes. In the final episode, one victor will receive the $250k cash prize. They’ll also receive bragging rights, as Battle Camp will determine who is the best competitor in the Netflix Reality Universe (or NRU). To get to the final stage, the Netflix stars will have to fight tooth and nail.
As Netflix stars arrive at camp in the premiere, they’re assigned one of three teams: Wolves, Bears, and Eagles. After that, another day at camp is never a guarantee. Instead, they’ll have to earn themselves a continued stay. Also, at the end of each day, contestants’ names will end up on a spinning wheel that determines who goes home. To avoid the “wheel of misfortune,” the stars will have to ace the competition and make alliances with their fellow Netflix campgoers.
Simply put, this isn’t your average summer camp. Nor is it a kumbaya, bonding retreat, or glamping experience!
What else do we know about Netflix’s Battle Camp?
Battle Camp is hosted by Taylor Lewan. You may know Taylor as co-host of the Bussin’ with the Boys podcast. He’s also a former NFL player. On this show, the host also serves as camp counselor. So, Taylor will also be charged with overseeing the chaos and attempting to reign it in. Considering the Netflix stars who are on the campground, and the major cash prize at stake, good luck with that!
The first trailer is set to be released on April 7. Before we get that official first look, Netflix is teasing that this could be its toughest competition yet. According to Tudum, the stars will be pushed “to their absolute limits.” As Netflix puts it, “They’ll need to be unbeatable in high-octane challenges, unbreakable as they face grueling punishments, and last but certainly not least, unhateable in camp.” Let the crossover chaos commence!
Battle Camp premieres April 23 on Netflix.
