The longest-running reality competition series is back with its monumental 40th season. “The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras” will debut on MTV Wednesday, Aug. 14 at 8 p.m.

The new season will feature 40 veteran players from the series’ last 26 years, each representing their “era.”

The roster features the most champions ever, including seven-time winner Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio, five-time champ Chris “CT” Tamburello, four-time winners Darrell Taylor and Jordan Wiseley and three-time winner Derrick Kosinski.

Winners who have won the title twice include Mark Long, Jonna Mannion, Rachel Robinson, Cara Maria Sorbello, Laurel Stucky and Jodi Weatherton. Kaycee Clark, Nehemiah Clark, Katie Cooley, Tori Deal, Brad Fiorenza, Aviv Melmed, Emily Schromm, Devin Walker and Jenny West have all taken home one win each.

The cast must “first compete at the Era Invitational and eliminate the weakest links from within their own Challenge Era for only the best will earn a coveted spot on their team,” the press release reads. “With relentless, new challenges and twists, these seasoned veterans are perpetually kept on their toes in the game they thought they had mastered. Legends will collide as they endeavor to etch their names into eternal ‘Challenge’ stone and earn their share of $1 million.”
