Hafthor Björnsson to Star in Reality Competition ‘Beat The Mountain’

Game Of Thrones star Hafthor Bjornsson, also known as “The Mountain,” will be headlining of a new series from Wheelhouse Entertainment’s Spoke Studio.

Hafthor Björnsson has been in in the media a lot this month due to his recent deadlifting world record (1,104.52 pounds on May 2).

A new competition of strength and endurance called Beat The Mountain is currently in the making at Wheelhouse Entertainments Spoke Studios. They plan on taking the project to market. This project is described as a challenge that is powerful for very skilled athletes to fight it out against one another in unique bouts. Of course, the top performer will have the opportunity to go head-to-head against Björnsson.

Wheelhouse Group CCO Wheelhouse Entertainment president Eric Wattenburg said, “Thor’s incredible deadlift last weekend made news around the world and rallied millions to share in a stunning athletic achievement.

“While he’s definitely one of a kind, we see this show as inspiration for anyone that wants to push boundaries or cheer on those who do. No doubt Thor is built to move mountains, but he’s also a disciplined team player and a super-nice guy. We’re excited to partner with him on this new series and to see his fan base expand.”

Hafthor Björnsson, who was 2018 World’s Strongest Man, stands 6’9” and weights 450 pounds. His most recent deadlifting win topped the previous record, lifting 501kg. Beating the Mountain will not be an easy task.
