History is taking on Special Ops. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network has ordered a new series from Peter Berg called The Selection: Special Operations Experiment.
In addition to acting in Chicago Hope and The Leftovers, Berg is known as the creator of Friday Night Lights and has directed several TV shows like Ballers and Prime Suspect.
The Selection “will see 30 men and women between the ages of 21 to 45 years old with no military background go through intense physical and mental challenges to see if they have what it takes to be the best of the best.” Instructors include “veteran Navy SEALs Marcus Capone, Ray Care and Sean Haggerty; veteran Special Forces Green Berets Donnie Bowen and Bert Kuntz, and veteran Army Ranger Tyler Grey.”
Season one of The Selection: Special Operations Experiment premieres on December 15th at 10 p.m. ET/PT on History.
What do you think? Do you watch History? Will you watch The Selection?
Absolutely I would watch the show The Selection!!!! I love it because it really shows people what our men and women in the military go through to protect us and are Freedom
I love this show. I purchased the series the very next day after the season ended. I have been watching it non-stop a full week now. The men motivated me to get back to living. I’m was having a hard time. Bad year.
Suck it up and keep walking.
Thank you.
Amazing show!!! It got me and my son to workout together and has brought us even closer. Please push for another season!!!!!
Love this show. Our entire family have been glued every week to see who makes it. All the instructors are awesome and have such an admirable character you just wanna keep watching. Hope there is a season 2.
Loved the show. I cried a little myself when the last four made it through. Really hoping there is a season 2.
This is an awesome show. Provides a great insight into the elite military training regime and requirements. The instructors are all beyond belief. I am hooked!
Hi great show, I to would like to be cast for the show. I am 51 and in great physical condition, I am a former MARINE and a Retired NYPD Officer
I love it!!! When is next casting and how?? Peter Beeg is a bad ass!! Thank you sir.
How do I apply?
I love this show, the concept! I would love to apply. I think all Americans should tune into this show, it’s only a very small peek into what these Special Operations troops must go through. It will leave you with a greater respect for the Special Operations community, and their dedication to duty!
This challenge sounds amazing! Volunteering to have U.S.A.’s Elite Military put you through intense physical and mental challenges to see if you have what it takes………where do I sign!
I will definitely be watching the show and hoping a Season 2 is approved, so I can apply!
How about individuals over the age of 50 that are in good physical condition with prior military experience. I would be interested in applying for a position with your show.
