Alan Ritchson, best known for playing Jack Reacher on Prime Video, is set to front a new unscripted survival series for Netflix. The show will see a group of high-profile contestants, including influencers and 'headline-makers', stripped of modern comforts and forced to rely on their instincts and determination in outdoor challenges.
The as-yet-untitled series is described as testing 'resilience and grit', with Ritchson, a seasoned outdoorsman, mentoring participants and pushing them beyond their limits. The programme is executive produced by Jay Bienstock, the reality TV veteran behind Survivor and The Apprentice, alongside Ritchson, Julie Pizzi, Rupert Dobson, Gayani Wanigaratne, and co-executive producer John Faratzis.
The series joins Netflix's growing roster of reality hits, which includes Squid Game: The Challenge, Million Dollar Secret, and Is It Cake?. The streaming platform is also developing The Golden Ticket, inspired by Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Win the Mall, a retail competition hosted by Haley Baylee, both slated for release this year.
Further details on the survival series, including its title and premiere date, have yet to be announced.
