Fox won't be bringing The Snake back for a second season. The news comes as the competition series was not part of the network's schedule for the 2026-2027 season, which was unveiled today.

Hosted by Jim Jefferies, the show featured 15 'masters of manipulation' from various persuasive professions who compete in an array of challenges and twists in order to try and become that week's Snake, the most powerful position in the game. This gives them control of The Saving Ceremony, a chain reaction elimination where connections are everything. Every week is a fresh start with a new gauntlet and a new Snake. In the end, only one contestant takes home the $100,000 grand prize.
