An insider has shared the names of several former cast members from The Challenge with no current interest in returning to the franchise.
The competition series is currently filming MTV’s Season 40, which features a star-studded cast of 40 individuals from various eras.
As that season films, The Challenge: All Stars 4 episodes arrive weekly on Paramount+, and that tends to be a shorter season.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you have not watched the Season 3 finale of “The Challenge: All Stars,” streaming now on Paramount+.
Another season of Paramount Plus’ “The Challenge: All Stars” is in the books — and two people are 250,000 richer.
The season finale, which dropped on Wednesday morning, picked up where the penultimate episode left off — with Mark Long, Brad Fiorenza, Nehemiah Clark, Wes Bergmann, Nia Moore, KellyAnne Judd, Jonna Mannion and Kailah Casillas kayaking across the ocean to a checkpoint.
Once arriving there, they each had to play one round of “King of the Hill,” the first game T.J. Lavin had ever hosted, back on “The Gauntlet 2” in 2005; this time, each player had to push their opponent off a platform in the middle of the ocean.
After the matches ended, they had to switch partners again, and each pair was given 100 pounds of sandbags to take up a mountain.
