The stakes are at an all-time high as "Hunger Games" film star Josh Hutcherson joins this week’s panel to judge the remaining 14 artists in a deadly predator challenge.

The stress of another individual Spotlight Challenge weighs on the remaining eleven artists and their coaches as they create trolls inspired by iconic bridges.

In the first part of this heart-stopping season premiere, contestants are shocked to find out they’ll be coached by three former Face Off Champions. Legendary seven-time Oscar Winning makeup effects artist and Special Guest Judge Rick Baker is also on hand to introduce the artists to their first Spotlight Challenge.

The artists learn that their next Spotlight Challenge will have them designing creatures based solely on unique sound effects created by two-time Academy Award nominated Sound Designer, Erik Aadahl.

The thirteen remaining artists must make playing cards come to life in the whimsical style of Tim Burton for their first individual Spotlight Challenge of the competition.

In the exciting conclusion to the season premiere, the champion-led teams of five discover that in addition to the original two aliens, they will be creating a third character, a primate leader. Seven Time Oscar Winner, Rick Baker returns as Guest Judge.
