After a nationwide casting call delivered DisneyXD four teams comprised of the country’s fiercest competitors, the adventure unfolds in the second season of the Grizzly Cup. Debuting Tuesday, November 4 at 7 p.m. ET, the intense outdoor competition series features returning hosts Kelli Berglund (Lab Rats) and Bradford How guiding teams through fast-paced skill-testing endurance challenges of determination and grizzly grit. Following the premiere, new episodes of the four-part action series will continue to air Tuesday nights throughout the month of November.

The Grizzly Cup follows four teams – one from British Columbia and Manitoba, and two from Ontario – as they take to the remote wilderness to compete for the ultimate prize – the coveted Grizzly Cup trophy. The challenges are big, the landscape is wild and for the first time ever, one team will be eliminated before the final leg of the race. Teams will face fears and have to work together to accomplish tasks they’ve never encountered.

In the season two premiere, the Blue, Green, Red and Yellow Teams gather in the wilderness to start the competition. The campers don’t have time to settle in before their first obstacle course is upon them, forcing teams to run and climb right out of the gates. The teams meet their counsellors and get acquainted with their home away from home before their next challenge – a canoe, scale and traverse sequence.

Fans who can’t get enough of the great outdoors can experience the Grizzly Cup indoors at DisneyXD.ca. Viewers will be able to watch videos to learn more about their favourite competitors and vote on which team they think will take home the coveted Grizzly Cup in the online poll. Those looking to get in on the action can play “Grizzly Cup: Surviving the Elements” featuring four fun mini games. Disney XD OnDemand will offer the new episodes of Grizzly Cup as they become available weekly starting November 18.
