Actor Jussie Smollett, who has seldom been seen on screen since he was accused of staging a hate crime in 2019, will star in the new season of Fox’s “Special Forces: World's Toughest Test,” marking his return to the network following his rise to fame on the drama series “Empire.”

Smollett is one of 18 celebrities who will star on season four of “Special Forces,” a reality competition show in which participants face difficult challenges resembling actual military training.
