What to know about Titans TV show

How many episodes of Titans are there?

There are four seasons of Titans – Russia's answer to Physical 100. Titans season 1 comprises 12 episodes, season 2 16 episodes, season 3 14 episodes, and season 4 four episodes (and counting) at the time of publication.

What is Titans (Russian TV show)?

Titans (Титаны) is a Russian reality competition series on TNT where the country’s physically strongest contestants undergo AI-designed extreme challenges to test strength, skill, endurance and strategy — all for the title of Russia’s strongest Titan and a ₽10 million prize.

How does the competition actually work?

Instead of human producers, an artificial intelligence network generates the challenges based on massive data analysis — meaning the tests are bizarre, brutal and unpredictable. Contestants face obstacles that push muscles and minds to their limits as they go head-to-head with AI-engineered trials.

Who competes on the show?

Competitors are elite athletes and strength icons — from European gymnastics champions and world heavyweight boxing champs to street-lifting record holders and Olympic synchronized swimmers. These aren’t just bodybuilders, they’re wildly diverse power players.

How many seasons and episodes are there?

Since launching in May 2024, Titans has been renewed through at least four seasons with dozens of episodes of intense physical competition — and new episodes still airing weekly in 2026.

What makes Titans stand out vs other competition shows?

Two things: AI-created challenges (not just human producers), and elite real-world athletes testing themselves against tech-driven trials, making it part sport-show, part science experiment — and unlike any typical obstacle show on TV.
