The iconic sports competition Exatlón USA, one of the most successful and longest-running shows on Hispanic television, returns to Telemundo’s screens with its highly anticipated tenth season, a milestone that promises to raise the intensity, excitement and level of competition to a new standard.
The premiere is scheduled for Tuesday, December 2 at 7 p.m./6c, marking the beginning of a renewed stage of the format that, since its debut in 2018, has won over audiences for its mix of sports, human drama and self-improvement.
Sports journalist and host Frederik Oldenburg returns once again as the main face of the program, consolidating his position as a key figure in the history of the franchise. His energy, charisma and closeness to the participants have been fundamental elements in maintaining the connection between the competitors and the audience.
In this new installment, Oldenburg will witness a rebirth of Exathlon, with more extreme challenges and a cast of contestants ready to give their all to achieve the title of USA Exathlon Champion and a life-changing cash prize.
“This season will be more demanding, more intense and, above all, more inspiring. Each participant represents a story of struggle and discipline,” said the host before the premiere.
