Wipeout will follow a similar format to last summer's highly-rated first season, with each one-hour episode featuring 24 contestants attempting to make their way through various obstacles designed to provide an endless assortment of crashes, face plants, impacts and wipe outs.
After four rounds of eliminations, the last remaining contestant wins a $50,000 prize.
John Henson and John Anderson will both reprise their hosting roles for the show's second season, as will co-host Jill Wagner.
ABC renewed Wipeout for a second season last summer after it was the highest-rated debut summer series on any network among the Adults 18-49 demographic since Dancing with the Stars' first season in 2005.
