The Biggest Loser Reboot Ordered at USA Network, to Premiere in 2020
TV’s reboot-and-revival craze has gained another comeback: The Biggest Loser will return via a 10-episode reboot at USA Network, TVLine has learned.
Per the official logline, the new Biggest Loser will “feature a dynamic new team of experts determined to dramatically improve America’s lifespans and waistlines.” Men and women will compete not only to lose weight, but to improve their overall wellbeing; to that end, each episode’s experts will include a trainer, chef and life coach, who will “help guide the contestants as they embark on the biggest transformations of their lives.”
USA Network has yet to announce who the experts will be.
“We’re re-imagining The Biggest Loser for today’s audiences, providing a new holistic, 360-degree look at wellness, while retaining the franchise’s competition format and legendary jaw-dropping moments,” said Chris McCumber, USA Network’s president of entertainment. “USA’s recent reboot of Temptation Island brought both new and younger viewers to the network, and we’re excited to add another big, buzzy show to our growing unscripted lineup.”
The Biggest Loser originally ran for 17 seasons on NBC and wrapped its initial run in February 2016. Trainers included Bob Harper, Dolvett Quince, Jennifer Widerstrom and Jillian Michaels (who became known for her intense, often-harsh motivational techniques).
New episodes are expected to premiere in 2020. Will you be watching? Tell us in the comments.
Ah yes, televised torture.
Oh please. Ten weeks of weight loss, training, and advice from a professional chef and a life coach. Yeah sounds horrible lol.
No one is being forced to sign up. And I bet those who do will enjoy those extra years added to their lifespan.
I dislike these type of shows and now even more. Why would anyone follow the advise of someone who had a heart attack at 50, while working out.
His heart attack was caused by a hereditary condition he didn’t know he had. It was unrelated to his lifestyle.
Why waste time replying to an idiot?
other the suits spin off. usa network is dead
Hey I’m so excited that the show is coming back. Watched all the time never missed an episode, and still watching the show today even though it is all repeats. But cant wait getting so excited.
USA Network is one of the “500 Channels and Nothin’ On” (Bruce Springsteen song) on DirecTV anyway. I have never watched anything on USA, and I will not be watching The Biggest Loser.
I wonder what other shows USA may be reviving. If they are trying to make up for losing wrestling with cheap reality shows. I could see maybe Nashville star coming back. Maybe a fun game show like dog eat dog or buy fear factor from MTV.
Yes!!! I will be watching. Learned a lot from the last show.
I cannot wait for The Biggest Loser to return. Wish it was sooner than 2020! It was such an inspiration to see the transformation of ordinary people being supported to step into their greatness.
YES, I will definitely watch! This show is very informative, inspiring, and entertaining! I will watch every episode as in previous years. If you need some dedicated contestants…I’m here…just saying!!!
I dont think I am excited if bob and dolvette are not going to be on there
I’d like to be considered to be a contestant. Military combat veteran that because of disabilities have gained weight. I’d love to lose weight and change my mindset. How do I apply to be on?
I don’t know how to get on this show but I have always wanted to. Overweight since 1 yo and now it’s out of control. Diet and exercise my whole life and still never able to maintain a healthy life style. Please Bob, I need you!!!!
Thank you, thank you and a huge THANK. YOU for bringing The Biggest Loser back.
Can’t wait! Hurry …
How about a section dedicated to baby boomers with exercises that people with arthritis can do?
Yes! I sure will be watching. Excited to hear that the show would be coming back on
I can’t wait to see this successful series reimagined, for today’s health conscious generation. I hope they take the high road and build the program on education
I am so excited. I love The Biggest Loser and can’t wait for its return!
Oh yes!!!!!!
I am a big fan of the biggest loser tv show i use to watch it every night it came on tv and wen it ancient that is was called do to bob harbor have a hart account it back my hart but I prayed for him and I still do to this day and it was a big wake up call for me. I have hig blood prade and I am Debbies and I am a tip 2 Debbie’s so I have been watching what I eat and i still have not lost any weight at all so I am hoping by the time the new season of the biggest loss comes on i will have some good things coming out of it

YES!!!!!! Cannot wait! I liked Jillian, but I really liked the chemistry with Bob, Dolvett and Jen.
Great, I love the show and it kept me in control of my own weight.
Love TBL will definitely watch!
I am so happy it’s coming back Biggest Loser has influenced my life so greatly I have lost a little bit of way but I’m still 290 pounds I need this so bad to watch new episodes don’t ever go off no matter what happens because even those fat people gain weight back and tried to blame the show before they’re all wrong they just needed somebody to blame for their wrong way of eating and going back to their old lifestyle . People like myself need the help that the biggest loser has shown the world how can i be on the show and make a great change in my life and help others to become the people we feel the need to be.
That show was a big inspiration for me. Ive really missed the biggest loser. Bring it back to stay please
