Twenty-two years after CBS’ Survivor changed TV forever, NBC is announcing an island survival reality show that attempts to up the ante.
The network has announced adventure competition series Million Dollar Islandfrom Studio Lambert and Talpa.
While Survivor typically has 16-to-20 contestants, Million Dollar Island has a whopping 100 contestants. And while the CBS competition usually spans 39 days, the new NBC series will last for 50 days. The prize, however, remains the same as ever — $1 million (inflation, it seems, impacts everything except island game show prizes).
The show is described as having 100 contestants who “must forge friendships and build alliances as they plot to stay on a remote desert island for up to 50 days and compete to win their share of the ultimate $1 million prize. Upon arrival, each contestant is given a bracelet worth $10,000. During their time on the island, contestants gain and lose bracelets through various challenges, but when a player leaves the island, they must choose who will receive their portion of the money. In this intense competition, the strength of your personal bonds are just as important as being the ultimate player.”
Jenny Groom, evp of alternative programming and development, said, “We’re excited to partner with a powerhouse team to bring this fresh and bold social experiment to NBC. This series is sure to entertain with ever-evolving alliances, trust, deceit and the ultimate will to survive.”
The project is based on a Dutch format, which recently completed filming its first season.
“I’ve enjoyed great success with NBC on The Voice, so I’m delighted that they’ll provide the perfect U.S home for this exciting new show,” added John de Mol, founder and chairman of Talpa.
Ready to collect my million and get no air time fighting for tv time against 99 people
The Belgian version of Survivor did this and it was so funny, you didn't even know like 40 of the peoples names before they were eliminated lol
a big chunk of them will starve and quit, and they'll do big eliminations. it'll feel like regular survivor by episode 6
I just know Sky* is creaming her pants at the thought of the "casting possibilities" from this
8 Months from now trash this show over not making the final cut ****
Do y'all remember that one show where they lived in a house for a year and it was airing live but it got canceled 2 months in and they had to send everybody home SKSKSK this reminds me of that for some reason
Utopia
I really hope all 100 contestants vote together at tribal council that would be so chaotic
Apparently there is no voting it's a cross between Survivor lifestyle wise and squid game.
are they casting or is this already done and in post production
Nieuw op SBS6: Million Dollar I$land - van de makers van Expeditie Robinson | Vanaf zondag 6 maart
That looks more fun then Survivor tbh.
survivor has been awful lately, this is your chance million dollar island!
I already know my 20 favorites are gonna be the ones to get zero airtime while the 5 I hate are going to eat it up lol.
**** i wanted to see how chaotic a 100 person tribal council would be, imagine getting like 20 votes and still not leaving
Someone plays an idol and nulfy 99 votes against them
Nah there would probably be like 18 different people getting votes lol
I like the concept I just wish it was less people cause a 100 people is a whole city
if you apply and don't get cast for THIS you ****** up!
no because if it was survivor rules and you had an idol it'd be so broken. **** off the island and 70+ people vote you out. all it would realistically take is an alliance of 8/9 to vote the same person and they're out lol
Ready for my favorite to eliminated alongside half the cast in the first episode in a game of tug of war like squid games.
where can we apply lol
imma just pretend i was on the show and got eliminated first and no one will know
when it's like American Idol/The Bachelor and majority of the cast is cut in the first episode with the show end up being edited around four people ☕️
Only for the same people to lose 3 episodes in lol
NBC has canceled this, no surprise
Whoever thought having a cast of 100 people was a good idea is brain dead
Agreed like did they not see the pandemic? But let's be real if this did move forward Skyes hands would've been tied ****
ok lol
It's on the fall schedule
