CBS ADDS “TOUGH AS NAILS” TO ITS SUMMER REALITY SCHEDULE





“Tough As Nails” Launches Its Fifth Season with a Two-Hour Premiere on Sunday, July 2 and Will Air Sundays and Fridays at 8:00 PM

CBS adds TOUGH AS NAILS to its summer reality schedule with airings twice a week, premiering with a special two-hour episode on Sunday, July 2 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) and Friday, July 7 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+* with new episodes airing every Sunday and Friday in subsequent weeks.

TOUGH AS NAILS is a competition series that celebrates everyday Americans who consider the calluses on their hands a badge of honor. For the first time, the show filmed in the Canadian “Steeltown” of Hamilton, Ontario, and will feature essential workers from both the United States and Canada who are ready to test their strength, endurance, life skills and mental toughness in challenges that take place in real-world scenarios. One by one, these workers are eliminated from the individual competition until a winner is crowned, but nobody goes home. Contestants who “punch out” of the individual competition continue to compete until the end of the season in a team competition with a chance of winning additional cash prizes.

TOUGH AS NAILS joins CBS’ recently announced summer lineup that includes SECRET CELEBRITY RENOVATION, now premiering on Friday, Aug. 4 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT)*; the milestone 25th season of BIG BROTHER starting Wednesday, Aug. 2 (8:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT) followed by Thursday and Sunday editions; the musical game show SUPERFAN debuting Wednesday, Aug. 9 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT); and THE CHALLENGE: USA launching on Thursday, Aug. 10 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT). All series will also be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+*.

MEET THE 12 NEW CREW MEMBERS COMPETING ON “TOUGH AS NAILS”!

THE FIFTH SEASON LAUNCHES WITH A TWO-HOUR PREMIERE ON SUNDAY, JULY 2 THEN CONTINUES AIRING FRIDAYS AND SUNDAYS AT 8:00 PM



For the First Time Ever, “Tough As Nails” Contestants Will Compete on Canadian Soil and the Series Will Feature Real People in Real Life Who Are Real Tough from Both the U.S. and Canada

Meet the 12 new competitors ready to test their strength, endurance, life skills and mental toughness on the new season of TOUGH AS NAILS. The fifth season launches on Sunday, July 2 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) with a two-hour premiere and will continue airing on Fridays and Sundays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+*.

The show was filmed in a Canadian city forged in steel, “The Hammer,” Hamilton, Ontario, and features hardworking Americans and Canadians who are the best of the best in their chosen trade.

Some of the seasoned professionals include a carpenter, toolmaker, ironworker, electrician and firefighter; skilled workers who are pushed to their limits, on real-world job sites.

One by one, contestants are eliminated from the individual competition until a winner is crowned. What sets TOUGH AS NAILS apart is nobody goes home. Contestants who “punch out” of the individual competition stay to compete through the entire season in a team competition with a chance of winning additional cash prizes.

In the first individual challenge of the season, competitors will cut, grind and torch 500 pounds of scrap metal. The first two to finish the job earn the privilege of choosing their teammates for Dirty Hands and Savage Crew.
