The original series, which was hosted by Marc Summers, aired from 1986-1993 and would have two teams of kids competing against each other in rounds of trivia, obstacle courses, physical challenges, and of course, an abundance of the network’s signature slime!

Expect the show to bring back all of that fun but on a bigger and better scale. Plus, some contestants from the show’s original run will be making their triumphant returns in addition to all new competitors. However, Summers will not be returning to his role as host and the network is expected to bring in an all-new face.
