Fear Factor: House of Fear Launches on Fox With Johnny Knoxville and a Season-Long House Game

Fourteen contestants live together in a remote Vancouver mansion, competing in phobia-driven challenges and house votes for a $200,000 prize.

Overview

  • New episodes air Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on Fox, with next-day streaming on Hulu and Disney+ with Hulu, and live options via DirecTV, Fubo, Sling, and Hulu + Live TV.
  • The competition locks a fixed cast in the “House of Fear,” where performance in the first challenge grants powers that influence who faces an End Game elimination.
  • Production was filmed near Vancouver in a remote waterfront mansion built to amplify horror aesthetics and round-the-clock social strategy.
  • Challenges mix classic gross-outs with phobia-focused set pieces, including the shrink-wrap claustrophobia test “Sealed Fates,” with more extreme hours teased such as a “Pain Auction.”
  • Following an NFL-tied preview on Jan. 11, the regular premiere anchors a weekly run as early commentary balances nostalgia with concerns about exploitation and the show’s heightened stakes.
