A new reality show titled Extracted is set to test amateur survivalists by plunging them into the Canadian wilderness. Produced by the team behind History's Alone franchise and Special Forces: World's Toughest Test, the Fox series will feature 12 untrained competitors battling the elements for a chance to win $250,000.
In a unique twist, family members of the contestants will be secluded in a secret headquarters, watching the action via a live feed. Only they have the power to rescue their loved ones by pressing a button, but doing so forfeits the cash prize. Families can also send lifelines and resources, but may need to negotiate with rival families.
A teaser trailer shows survivalists breaking down in the wild as loved ones debate extraction. 'Press the button,' one man begs, while another sobs, 'I'm terrified.' One family member defiantly states, 'I'm not hitting the button.'
Meanwhile, the third season of Special Forces: World's Toughest Test has announced its cast, including Denise Richards, Stephen Baldwin, Brody Jenner, Kayla Nicole, and Christy Carlson Romano. Other notable names include Ali Fedotowsky, Trista Sutter, Carey Hart, Jordyn Wieber, Golden Tate, Cam Newton, Alana Blanchard, Landon Donovan, Marion Jones, Nathan Adrian, and Kyla Pratt.
The series, which puts celebrities through actual U.S. Special Forces selection tasks, will air over five weeks with directing staff agents Rudy Reyes, Mark 'Billy' Billingham, Jason 'Foxy' Fox, and Jovon 'Q' Quarles.
