Mental Samurai is an American television game show that aired from March 19, 2019, to July 20, 2021, on Fox. Described as an "obstacle course for the mind", the show features contestants answering knowledge-based questions while being moved around by a large robot arm in the show's specially designed capsule that can rotate 360°. The show is hosted and produced by Rob Lowe.[1][2][3]
On February 25, 2020, it was announced that the second season was set to premiere on April 22, 2020.[4] However, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the second season was postponed to May 25, 2021, and reruns of the first season aired in its place.[5]
On May 16, 2022, Fox shelved the series indefinitely.[6]
