#No panic button forged in fire series
While we appreciate Wil Willis and everything he brought to the series we are excited to start this new chapter and welcome Grady Powell into the ‘forge’ as our new host. Why was Grady brought in for season eight? The official reason, according to what History told Trib Total Media TV writer Rob Owen:Īs with any legacy series that has had the privilege of being on the air for five-plus years, fans will notice new names and faces from time to time. and he was one of the replacement cadre members on season two of American Grit.Grady was part of the pair who replaced the hosts of Discovery Channel’s Dual Survival,.He’s been replaced by Grady Powell, who was once on NatGeo’s Ultimate Survival Alaska and has since twice replaced other people on reality shows:

But as fans first learned when the trailer for season eight came out in November, he no longer hosts. Wil Willis hosted Forged in Fire-a History Channel reality competition that’s like Chopped but for creating knives, rather than using them-for its first seven seasons. Do you know what happened to the host Wil on Forged in Fire? -Michael
