The new run of shows will also vary from the original by strictly having teams of two running the course at a time. The second round has also been expanded into a gauntlet which you can see in the video above. Kunitz hails it as "the biggest course we've ever done," featuring two tanks and a land-based portion in the middle.

Outside of what you will see on the show, Wipeout also had to change how it ran its operations due to the ongoing COVID pandemic. The crew and contestants, which Kunitz estimates could be upward of around people at a time, were tested regularly to make sure the production can stay on pace. Despite all the precautions, Kunitz added that they were living in "constant fear" of shutdowns during the six-month duration of the shoot because of changes in the government's plan for TV productions.

But then that would go away. Things intensified in November when a contestant, Michael Parades, died of a heart attack while running the new course, forcing a stop in production. It was revealed later that Parades suffered from an undetected coronary disease.

Sources close to the production confirmed to EW at the time that all contestants on the show are expected to complete medical exams before being cleared to participate. Other safety precautions on the show include having on-site paramedics, doctors, and a safety producer.

Our medical testing is strenuous. Safety is a top priority for us. It always has been," Kunitz said.
