Somewhere else, Traffic rules is returning with a new list of Road Warriors. The series ran between 1995 and 2007 for 14 seasons. These strangers will be abandoned in a distant place and stripped of their modern luxuries when embarking on a restricted life in a trailer, traveling from one place to another. They will be guided by a set of clues, odd jobs and cash missions. If they last until the end of the trip, they will leave with the life-changing award.
The challenge: all the stars will see 22 competitors from the original Real world and Traffic rules come back for a second chance. They will compete for a prize of $ 500,000.
The reality show was announced at the Paramount + launch event by Chris McCarthy, president of the MTV Entertainment Group.
