- Sabotage. Deceive. Compete. Repeat.May 31, 2024
Like a certain arcade game foretold, if you whack a mole, another’s bound to pop up soon after. Yes, watch your back, because The Mole Season 2 is coming.
The high-stakes competition series is back for another round with brand-new players to scrutinize and surveil. Each week, the contestants will work together on a series of missions testing their skills and endurance — be it breaking out of a locked prison cell or searching for sunken treasure — to add money to a collective prize pot.
But within the cast lies a saboteur, aka the Mole, who’s secretly been tasked by the show’s producers to undermine the players’ efforts and keep the earnings as low as possible, all while staying under the radar and above suspicion.
Ready for some next-level deception? Read on for everything you need to know about The Mole Season 2.

In 2015, Shapiro joined All Things Considered as one of a rotating group of anchors and has since become the host of NPR’s daily afternoon news podcast Consider This.
Over the course of his career, Shapiro has been honored with a slew of awards, including three national Edward R. Murrow awards, and was named Journalist of the Year in 2023 by the NLGJA.
