Helmed by entertainment powerhouse Banijay Asia, the franchise’s global success of Survivor is aptly reflected across every international adaptation of the show in multiple languages, resulting in a strong fan base world over.

The uniqueness of the show lies not only in the fact that it is going to happen in a beautiful natural environment but also the magnificent island that will be home to the show and the contestants.

From the very basics of building a fire camp for warmth, or a tent from natural resources to scrouging for food and water etc., the contestants will have to display extraordinary grit and determination to prove their mettle amidst all odds. Adding to the challenging environment, the contestants will be put through a variety of tasks where they will fight against each other to win rewards and immunity from elimination.

After all, this ultimate game of human survival is designed to truly test every aspect of contestant’s mental and physical strength.

As the quest to uncover the identities of contestants begin, each from a different walk of life, the added element of surprise is the host who will not only take the viewers through the survival journey but act as a mentor and guide to the contestants during the tasks.
