Reload: DNA

***Reload: DNA*** (Often referred to as *DNA*) is the second season of the Reload series. It places ten strangers in a custom built house as the compete to the title of Winner. This season of Reload will introduce a never before seen twist. The ten brand new housemates will be entering Reload paired up with a loved one. This season, if one person in the pair is nominated, then both people will be nominated. Also, housemates have a chance to gain a Game Mutation, which will be rewarded by the votes. The housemates will not know what power the mutation will hold right away, and once they win one then they cannot win another. However, there are only four Game Mutations in total.

The housemates moved in on March 6, 2019, and were filmed until April 5, 2019. The jury voting, winner reveal, and award crowing took place a week after housemates have left Reload, April 12, 2019. Production concluded on April 15, 2019.
