Are you getting excited for season three of Nickelodeon’s Paradise Run?
The competition series, set in Hawaii and hosted by Daniella Monet, follows three teams competing in a sequence of adrenaline-pumping challenges, all vying for the ultimate prize – a paradise vacation!
The brand-new season of Paradise Run will premiere on New Year’s Day (January 1) at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
Some of the new challenges include a 45-foot volcano-themed water slide; a 700-foot zip-line; Volca-Nose, where teams climb up a 50-foot slimy slide to plug five oozing nostrils of a baby volcano; Sandwich Islands, where teams race against time by running across water mats with oversized ingredients to create giant sandwiches and deliver them to hangry guests; and Crazy Bat Shoot, where teams use giant sling shots to fling rubber bats at their teammates across the lagoon.
If you loved Paradise Run seasons 1-2, you’re in for a treat: Nickelodeon announced that its hit reality show, featuring Daniella Monet, has been renewed for a third season.
If you’re new to the show, Paradise Run follows three teams of kids competing in a series of hilarious and heart-pounding challenges. Their setting is a stunning Hawaiian luxury resort, and the grand prize is a paradise vacation.
The series was also nominated for a Kids’ Choice Award, which couldn’t have hurt its renewal.
Scott Stone, the executive producer, promises new excitement this season. “Last year we added a 200-yard zip line and special Nickelodeon celebrity episodes,” he said in a press release. “Wait until you see what we have in store for season three!”
“The Big Island has become a second home to me,” Daniella told Twist Magazine. She can’t wait to return to the island for season 3.
Are you ready for the second season of Nickelodeon’s competition show Paradise Run?!
We caught up with host Daniella Monet who gave us some scoop on what we can expect from the competitors this time around. Oh – and we have an exclusive clip for you!
“This season kids are doing their homework!” Daniella told us. “They have all of the entire first season to study, so I’ve noticed these teams are more ready for the challenges! Plus we have Nick stars teaming up to play – which is super fun to watch!”
“I love hosting because I love interacting with real people in an organic way,” she continued. “The kids on Paradise Run crack me up which makes my job that much more fun!”
As for how she thinks she would do in the challenges as a player, Daniella told JJJ. “I feel like I’d be a pretty confident player. I love a friendly competition and I’d think of myself as pretty athletic. Though some would say otherwise. My boyfriend is still trying to teach me how to shoot a basketball, I swear I struggle because I have small hands.”
Paradise Run returns on Monday, January 2 @ 7PM on Nickelodeon.
In each episode of Paradise Run, set in Hawaii, contestants face brand-new obstacles including, propelling down 50-foot slippery slides, quenching the thirst of man-made volcanoes, digging through giant mud-pits, and racing on football-length zip-lines into the hotel’s lagoon for the ultimate prize–a paradise vacation.
Hosted by Daniella Monet, sneak-peek week of celebrity episodes debuts Monday, November 14th at 7PM ET/PT on Nickelodeon.
