Roku and CW Network announced Thursday they’ve joined forces for a new survival reality show.
The call it “a social experiment in primitive survivalism — with a competitive twist. 17 competitors, including former Survivor, Alone, Naked and Afraid and American Ninja Warrior contestants must survive 25 days on a remote tropical island combatting brutal conditions — and each other — to win $250,000.”
The companies add, “In one of the most intense survival of the fittest competitions ever televised, the competitors battle one another for essential tools and resources in the fight to survive.”
The show will premiere Thursday, August 10, at 8 p.m. ET on The CW, and will then be available to stream on TheRokuChannel and The CW app on September 29, the day after the broadcast finale.
