The Challenge: Double Agents' Wes Bergmann Teases How COVID Might Change the Show Forever
The Challenge, MTV's current longest running reality show, is one of those series. The new season, Double Agents, was shot entirely during the pandemic and the production crew went through great pains not only to keep the cast safe from catching the novel coronavirus, but also to make it look like COVID wasn't a factor. "Not only did they innovate in production quality, game creativity, and casting creativity and all that stuff that they innovated on — then they had to innovate on a whole new model, which was how do you create a bubble in another country?," veteran contestant Wes Bergmann told TV Guide ahead of the new season, which premieres on Wednesday.
