Several Survivor alums are participating in a new show where they battle to survive on a remote island.
Do the former Survivor castaways have what it takes to beat people from Naked and Afraid?
Viewers will soon learn that answer when this new show called Fight to Survive debuts on The CW.
Fight to Survive will debut its inaugural season on the same night that The Challenge: USA Season 2 arrives on CBS.
Seven Survivor alums are playing on The Challenge this time, with people from Big Brother and The Amazing Race also playing again.
The Challenge: USA Season 2 also features nine Big Brother alums.
What is Fight to Survive?
Fight to Survive is billed as a social experiment in primitive survivalism.
The competitors must survive 25 days while batting the brutal conditions on a remote tropical island.
A $250,000 prize is on the line, and the competitors have to battle each other for the limited resources and essential tools.
Seventeen people are playing the game, some coming from Survivor, Naked and Afraid, Alone, and American Ninja Warrior. A few non-reality show people are also in the mix.
Akbar Gbaja-Biamila serves as the host. He has also served as a co-host on America Ninja Warrior for years.
Who is on the Fight to Survive cast?
As mentioned above, there are 17 cast members in Fight to Survive.
The show itself lasts eight episodes, airing weekly on The CW. Fight to Survive will be available for streaming on Roku at the end of its run.
