USA Network has grabbed a competition series called Cannonball, which it said “pits contestants against some of the highest, fastest and wettest challenges ever created, for a cash prize.” The network signed up for 10 episodes.
Cannonball is produced by ITV Entertainment and will premiere in 2020.
Each episode features 16 contestants competing in four rounds of challenges, from the speed slide Mega-Ramp to the Drop Tower to the Air Cannon. Ultimately, one champion remains.
