The “Wipeout” game show on TBS, hosted by John Cena and Nicole Byer, with Camille Kostek as the field host, is no more.
On Monday, Jason Sarlanis, President of TNT, TBS, TruTV, ID & HLN, Linear, and Streaming at Warner Bros. Discovery, stated during a keynote session at the Realscreen Summit in Miami that the show has been canceled after three seasons. As reported by Deadline, Sarlanis indicated the cost of the show was not enough to keep it around.
The first episode of the revival aired in April 2021. The series first premiered on ABC in 2008. The show’s format has twists and elements that test the competitors in addition to some wild falls.
The synopsis of the show read like this: “With updated courses that are bigger and wetter than ever and a special appearance from someone “Wipeout” fans will be sure to recognize, each episode features a collection of new contestants racing their way through water, slime, mud, and the series’ iconic big red balls for the chance to win a grand prize of $25,000.”
The Cube was also canceled by the network. Cena returns to WWE at the Elimination Chamber next month.
