Today, FOX announced the order of a second season of "American Grit," the competition series with host, John Cena, where civilians face challenges where they are pushed beyond their limits in tests of strength, spirit, and teamwork.

The teams are led by the most elite former military mentors called "the cadre." In season one, each team had 4 civilian team members, 16 competitors overall. In the end, one man and one woman are left standing to split the half million dollar prize.

Casting has begun for the next group of men and women for season two of "American Grit." To nominate someone you think has overcome great odds and is ready to take on this challenge, visit FindYourStrengthCasting.com.

The season 2 premiere of "American Grit" will be announced at a later date.
