The CW Network has teamed up with Roku on Fight To Survive, the former announced a reality TV series hosted by American Ninja Warrior's Akbar Gbajabiamila.
Fight To Survive is one of three new series ordered by Roku in January launch planned for this year.
The eight-episode survival contest series premieres Thursday, August 10 at 8 p.m. on The CW. All episodes will then be available to stream on The Roku Channel and The CW App on September 29, the day after the final airing.
"Bringing together the best of The CW and the best of The Roku Channel, Fight To Survive will be able to reach the widest audience possible through both broadcast and streaming,” said Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment, The CW Network, and Brian Tannenbaum, Head of Originals, Roku. By working together across all aspects of distribution, marketing, press and publicity, we'll bring this jaw-dropping series to millions of fans in ways never before seen."
In Fight To Survive, Gbajabiamila stages a social experiment in primitive survivalism— with a touch of competition. 17 contestants, including former Survivor, Alone, Naked and Afraid and American Ninja Warrior contestants, must survive 25 days on a remote tropical island battling brutal conditions - and against each other - to win $250,000. "In one of the most intense Survival of the Best competitions ever televised, contestants compete for essential tools and resources in the fight to survive," according to the release.
"With its dynamic cast of reality personalities and an original unscripted format that ramps up the intensity from the traditional contest series, Fight To Survive is an addictive summer series that we're thrilled to bring to The CW," said Heather Olander, Head of Unscripted Content, The CW Network, and Sean Boyle, Head of Adventure and Exploration Programming, Roku. "We can't wait for viewers to join the fight!"
