Panic Button - Thursday, Jan. 2, at 10:30 p.m. (ET/PT) - TV-14-L

Cynthia and Brianna are friends who like to share everything, including a fear of the dark. So, why would they agree to go into the maze? Good question. Shane, aka Cobra and his muscle-bound friend Merla, think that being totally ripped body builders makes them impervious to panic.

A bizarre test laboratory. Strange machines and outrageous games. Creepy creatures crawling in the dark. And a mysterious, mischievous voice known only as "The Doctor." This is the crazy world of truTV's Panic Button, a wild and funny new competition series that mixes side-splitting laughs with pulse-pounding scares. In each episode of Panic Button, two-person teams enter a top-secret facility, where The Voice of The Doctor carefully uncovers their deepest fears. The teams must overcome what frightens them through three escalating levels of sweat-inducing challenges and heart-stopping surprises that put their relationships - and courage - to the test. Viewers will be on the edge of their seats as the competitors try to find out who is bold enough to make it all the way and who is so freaked out they hit the Panic Button.
