The Challenge: MTV Announces Double Agents Premiere Date, Cast

Another big battle for a lot of money will get underway on MTV very soon. 

The cabler has announced The Challenge: Double Agents -- the 36th season -- will hit the air December 9. 

It has also been announced that the series will be reverting to a partner format, and features 30 of the biggest reality TV stars from all over the world. 

They are competing for $1 million in total prize money. 

MTV has also announced there will be returning veterans who we haven't seen in a few years, including Darrell Taylor, Theresa Jones, and Devin Walker. 

But it wouldn't be a new season of The Challenge without some new faces, and there are a lot of them.
