The Challenge returns to MTV next month with a brand new format.

The hit reality series' 38th season is titled "Ride or Dies," and premieres Wednesday, October 12 at 8/7c.

The Challenge Season 38 features a mix of old and new cast members, including the return of Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio.

The duos this season team up “as they navigate the weekly mental and physical warfare together for their share of one million dollars,” the logline reads.

“These relationships will be put to the ultimate test as their teamwork, loyalty and trust will be challenged every step of the way. In this game, it all comes down to who you trust and who has your back, because this season of The Challenge will either break bonds or tie two competitors together for life," MTV teases.

The cast list is as follows:

Amber Borzotra

Chauncey Palmer

Fessy Shaffaat

The franchise has expanded considerably in recent years with an All-Stars edition, The Challenge: USA, and several international iterations.

The new trailer for the season ahead certainly highlights some big drama for everyone involved.

However, having no CT or Wes could shake things up considerably.
