The original Legends was filmed at Nickelodeon Studios. The key difference this time, besides the age of the contestants, will be the location. Even the old team names like the Silver Snakes, Purple Parrots, and Red Jaguars will be back. It will once again feature “Olmec,” the talking Mayan statue that helped host the series, plus the same sorts of games and challenges as the old series. The CW has ordered the updated series which, per Variety, will maintain the concepts and key elements from the original show. That’s surely the thinking that resulted in a new Legends of the Hidden Temple - this one featuring adult contestants instead of kids.

why not combine all of these things into a single TV show? And there’s nothing the young adults on those shows love more than ’90s nostalgia so. These days, game shows for kids have fallen out of favor - but shows that pit adults in contests of involving intense physicality are all the rage, between American Ninja Warrior, Floor Is Lava, Wipeout, and countless others. When Legends of the Hidden Templewas a mainstay of Nickelodeon in the 1990s, it was one of many game shows on the network that combined trivia contests and physical challenges, like Double Dare, Finders Keepers, and Nick Arcade.
