The Snake is an American reality competition series hosted by Jim Jefferies that aired on Fox from June 10 to August 26, 2025. In May 2026, the series was canceled after one season.
Format The contestants compete in challenges based around manipulation, persuasion, and deception; whoever wins the challenge receives a snake medallion and the title of "the Snake".
