Synopsis:

Raid the Cage premiered on CBS last year to tremendous commercial success. This U.S. adaptation of the hit series, based on an Israeli format, escalated the intensity of the competition by having two teams face off to answer questions which earn time in the cage. There, they try to collect as many prizes as possible, before time runs out or risk going home empty-handed.



The cage is home to big physical challenges and prizes never seen in a traditional game show. It all leads up to an action-packed bonus round.



The franticness of the cage raids couples with the strategy of how much contestants should grab before they get locked in to create a palpable excitement for viewers. That paired with the fan-favorite host, Damon Wayans Jr. and co-host Jeannie Mai, results in the show’s signature blend of action, trivia, and prizes. The show’s success led to the network renewing the show for a second season, scheduled to air in early 2025.
