Ultimate Beastmaster (season 2)
The second season of the American reality competition series "Ultimate Beastmaster" premiered exclusively via Netflix's web streaming service on December 15, 2017. The show consists of 10 Beastmaster episodes which were released simultaneously on Netflix worldwide. The show was filmed in Santa Clarita, California, over the course of eight nights. Hosts. Each country has their own set of two hosts/commentators for the competition. They are as follows: Not only do each pair of hosts provide color commentary for each of the six localized versions, but the foreign commentators also make appearances in each localized  version, with their commentary presented by subtitles. If a contestant completes a course, all hosts' reactions are shown on screen. Furthermore, since all host booths are placed in a row on the "Ultimate Beastmaster" set, commentators from one localization can easily walk over into the booth of another localized version. The Beast. The obstacle course for the competition is known as The Beast, and it is divided into 4 Levels. Competitors with the highest scores after each level move on while those with the lowest scores are eliminated. Unlike the previous season, scores accrue on all four levels, with ties  decided in favor of the competitor with the lowest time. The obstacles are suspended over a body of red-tinted water referred to as Beast Blood (except for Level 3 which has blue-tinted water and is referred to as the Fuel of the Pyramid) and housed in a giant steel frame that takes the form of a large animal. A competitor is considered to have failed a Level if all four limbs are submerged into the Beast Blood/Fuel of the Pyramid. Failure ends the attempt at the current Level but confers no penalties. Competitors have 1,500 seconds (25  minutes) to complete all four levels. Level 1. In Level 1 all twelve competitors compete with the top eight scorers moving on. At the end of the Energy Coils, there are two different paths taken, depending on the episode. Path 1 A perfect run will give you a score of 120 points. Path 2 Each individual portion of an obstacle is worth 5 points allowing for a possible total of 90 or 120 Points, depending on Beast configuration. A perfect run will give you a score of 135 poitns. Competitors have 360 seconds (6 minutes) to complete Level 1. Level  2. In Level 2 the top eight competitors compete, with the top five scorers moving on.

In Level 4 the top two competitors face each other on an eighty-foot climbing wall. Unlike the previous season, scores from the previous levels are kept and there are no Power Taps. Competitors are given five minutes to accrue the highest possible score, with ties decided in favor of the competitor who is currently highest on the tower.
