“Tough as Nails is a celebration of the hard working men and women who are not afraid to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty to do a hard day’s work,” says Keoghan (who also hosts the series as well as serving as showrunner and creator). “Over the past year, we have a renewed appreciation of the ’essential workforce’ that keep the country running and I’m excited for viewers to meet the new crew members because this is a group of amazing folks who are real people in real life who are real tough!” Launch the gallery to see the 12 members of this season’s cast, which includes a steelworker, pipe welder, travel nurse, UPS delivery driver, and retired Air Force colonel. Tough as Nails season 2 premiered Wednesday, Feb. 10 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
