In each episode, four players are dropped in the wild for 36 hours with a chance to win $100,000.

Here's what viewers can expect during Season 1 of 'Snake in the Grass.'

The people participating in Season 1 of Snake in the Grass have one goal in mind: trying to win $100,000. In what the USA Network is calling "survival of the sneakiest," the players must compete in a series of difficult challenges, "from retrieving game pieces suspended on high wires over a 500-foot canyon, to scaling the face of a cliff to solve puzzles."

Each time a group completes a challenge, they're awarded a clue that hints at the identity of the Snake, who has been trying to undermine the group along the way. Wanting to win the $100,000 all for themselves, the Snake will do anything in their power to keep the players from correctly guessing their identity.

Snake in the Grass Season 1 premieres on Monday, Aug. 1 at 11 p.m. ET on USA, with a special preview airing on Tuesday, July 26 at 10 p.m. ET on NBC.
