Spike has given a 13 episode order for season two, which will premiere in Spring 2010, along with its original web program Deadliest Warrior-The Aftermath, which features experts discussing the results of the matchups.

"We are thrilled with the success Deadliest Warrior has achieved both on air and online for Spike," said Sharon Levy, senior vice president of original programming for Spike TV. "The decision to pick it up is a no-brainer. Since hitting the air, fans have endlessly debated and shared online, even offering some great ideas for future match-ups."
