The Challenge: All Stars episode 1 is streaming now aftering premiering on Thursday, April at 3 a.m. ET on Paramount Plus.
The Challenge is coming full circle. It's time to watch The Challenge: All Stars streaming online now at Paramount Plus, the new service from ViacomCBS (home to MTV, VH1, Comedy Central, the Paramount movie studio and more). The All Stars cast is made up of OG Real World and Road Rules alums who went on to compete in The Challenge.
The idea for this limited-series event came from Mark Long, who appeared on the very first season of Road Rules and became a two-time Challenge winner. He'll be joined by other blast-from-the-past names like Trishelle Cannatella, Katie Cooley, Alton Williams, Ruthie Alcaide, Jisela Delgado, and Syrus Yarbrough.

Some of the All Stars haven't appeared on a Challenge season for two decades! This is no April Fool's joke. On Us Weekly's podcast, Long explained that he wanted to take the show "back to where it was fun."
"It was light-hearted but still competitive,” he added. “What I think will be super special about something like this is being able to almost capture the 'where are they now?' type of feel where they introduce characters on the first show."

The Challenge: All Stars trailer
Host TJ Lavin opens the trailer by introducing the cast as "some of the greatest all-stars to set foot on the Challenge field." Then, we get glimpses of some of the crazy stunts they'll have to pull off, which involve jumping in lakes and climbing across a moving tractor trailer. And when they're not competing, they're also battling it out with words. Because this is the Challenge — of course there's going to be drama.
