King of the Road Season 2: Premiere Photos
6/06/2017
Season 2 of Thrasher’s King of the Road starts Thursday on Viceland, but if you were lucky enough to be in Hollywood and get the invite, there was a sneak preview last night. This year is going to be even heavier, and to quote KOTR creator Michael Burnett, “This year every team tried really really hard.” After watching the episode, that was more than apparent—full of the ridiculous challenges on and off the board that KOTR is famous for. Each of the teams accomplished things they never thought were possible. —Joe Hammeke
