There hasn’t been an update about Kings of Pain Season 3 just yet. According to TV Cancel Renew, the History channel is taking its time with making this announcement. Seasons 1 and 2 of the show have been highly intriguing, which means there’s a good possibility the show will be back for another season in the future.
In one episode, Adam and Rob face off against giant Asian centipedes and a 16-foot reticulated python. In another episode, they go head to head against a flesh-eating piranha and a bullet ant. After that, they dealt with the pain of a fire urchin bite in Bali.
The first two seasons of the show have made it abundantly clear that Adam and Rob are willing to travel to whatever places are necessary in order to interact with the deadliest animals and insects. They're willing to go out of their way to enter into precarious situations that other people would prefer to avoid.
Here’s what the producer of 'Kings of Pain' has to say.
David Carr is the executive producer of Kings of Pain. He spoke with History about following Adam and Rob’s lead for each episode of the show.
He said, “I asked Adam and Rob for their bucket lists. Ultimately, it was a combination of what did you guys wanted to do, what I was interested in from doing my own research, and what our animal expert said.” It’s safe to say that everyone involved with the show is there because they genuinely want to be there.
