The long-awaited revival of the popular reality TV series Survivor is set to hit the screens in the UK, with the BBC confirming the premiere date.
The new series, hosted by Joel Dommett, is scheduled to kick off on Saturday, October 28th, at 8:25 PM, and fans can eagerly anticipate the second episode airing the very next day, Sunday, October 29th, at 8 PM.
Survivor is known for its intense physical and psychological challenges, and this revival will feature 18 contestants who are in for the adventure of a lifetime.
These contestants will be whisked away to a tropical island and divided into two tribes. Their goal? To compete fiercely, not just for rewards, but also for immunity from elimination. Throughout the series, contestants will face eliminations, with one individual voted out at a time, until only one person remains in each tribe. These two survivors will ultimately vie for the grand prize of £100,000.
With a total of 16 episodes, each running for an hour, viewers are in for an exciting and action-packed season. If you're curious about the contestants and want to get to know them before the first episode airs, there's a gallery available showcasing their profiles, including their appearance, backgrounds, and reasons for wanting to be a part of Survivor.
"Survivor is a global television hit, and to be able to bring one of TV's most successful formats to audiences in the UK in a uniquely BBC way is a very exciting prospect indeed," remarked Kate Phillips, the Director of Unscripted at the BBC.
