One hundred more contestants will compete in simple and hilarious games in the second season of 99 to Beat. This season will have the oldest contestant competing at 81 years old. See how he does in a new trailer.
The competition series is set to return to Fox in September. Reverend Peter Nevins won Season 1 and took home the $1 million prize. The prize was upped from $100,000 to $1 million before the season began.
He beat out 99 contestants in a series of solo and group games. As the game show sets another season, fans are anxious to see what games contestants will compete in and who will win.
The only rule of the game is “Don’t. Finish. Last.” If a contestant finishes last, they are eliminated. If it is a group game, that group is eliminated. For every contestant who is eliminated, $1,000 is added to the prize pot.
99 to Beat is based on the British game show of the same name, hosted by Adam and Ryan Thomas, which premiered in March 2025. Here is everything we know about Season 2 of 99 to Beat.
