CMT has announced Rycroft will be joining wrestling icon Steve "Stone Cold" Austin as co-host of Redneck Island's fifth season when the network's long-running competition series premieres Thursday, January 28 at 10PM ET/PT.

In the upcoming edition, 24 contestants -- 12 returning fan-favorites from previous seasons and 12 new competitors -- will battle it out for a $100,000 cash prize.

The returning contestants will be Becky, Bradley, Cody, Heather, Hunter, Jorden, Josh, Lucas, Margaret, Nicole, Riley and Tessa. Alliances will form early on and relationships will be put to the test as the 12 seasoned veterans will face off against a bunch of eager rookies.

Redneck Island is produced by 51 Minds Entertainment and Broken Skull Ranch Productions. Austin, Christian Sarabia, Fred Birkhead, Jayson Dinsmore and Morgan Selzer serve as executive producers.
