The streaming platform has yet to announce who will be a part of the survival competition show led by Ritchson. However, the synopsis released has promised a group of high-profile influencers and headline-makers. These “celebrities” will be people who are used to modern life’s comforts and luxuries.

While specific names haven’t been announced yet, if previous Netflix “celebrity” shows are any evidence, the show will be packed with famous people who will bring drama and entertainment to look forward to. Other reality shows released on the streaming platform have proven to be addictive and entertaining. Fans can expect the same when it comes to Ritchson’s survival show.

What Is Alan Ritchson’s Survival Show About?

The actor is bringing together a group of influencers and celebrities and throwing them together without their luxuries and everyday comforts. The players will be put to the test for their “resilience and grit”. Moreover, their determination, strength, and wits to survive and outlast the other competitors are what will take them to the winning battle.

It remains to be seen if these high-profile faces will have what it takes to survive in a show like this.
