The United States and the United Kingdom have a long history which dates back centuries (an honorable mention for the Revolutionary War). And now, The Challenge is about to embrace this "special relationship" -- with a brand-new War of the Worlds. Not allies anymore, are we?

The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 will premiere on August 28 with special 90-minute episodes. Following Season 33, the lines have been drawn between the U.K. and U.S. players -- and for the series' 34th run, 14 Brits will battle it out against 14 Americans for their share of the $1 million prize. The program's classic team format is BACK. And so is Johnny Bananas' trademark toast (as seen in the trailer below).

In the premiere episode, the winning team will have the first pick from the lineup of “reinforcements” featuring all-stars CT Tamburello, Dee Nguyen, "Ninja" Natalie Duran, and last season’s champion Turabi "Turbo" Camkiran.

Rooting for the stars and stripes? Or the Union Jack? "I pledge allegiance"? Or "God Save the Queen"? Who are you placing your bets on: the Americans or the Brits? Check out the entire cast below (Jordan and Laurel are back!), and stay with MTV News as we approach the premiere of The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 on Wednesday, August 28 at 9/8c!
