Synopsis

Hosted by actors Robert Carradine and Curtis Armstrong, King of the Nerds invites 11 competitors spanning the full nerd spectrum to come together to face challenges that will test their intellect, ingenuity, skills and pop-culture prowess. The nerds will first compete as teams before moving on to individual challenges, all with the goal of being named the quintessential master of all things nerdy and winning the $100,000 prize.

Throughout the season, the nerds will live together in "Nerdvana" and face challenges like a giant game of chess, a debate, live gaming and a dance-off. One competitor will be eliminated each week, leading to the ultimate champion being crowned "King of the Nerds."
