Fox Unveils Trailer for New Survival Competition ‘Extracted’

Fox’s new survival competition series ‘Extracted’ premieres on February 10, featuring twelve untrained civilians in the Canadian wilderness. Contestants’ survival hinges on their families’ decisions, who can engage with their loved ones’ fate through a live feed. Produced by B17 Entertainment and Balboa Productions, the show combines high-stakes survival with emotional family dynamics for a unique viewing experience.

Fox is set to plunge more contestants into nature’s unforgiving embrace with the survival competition series ‘Extracted’. Slated for a midseason premiere on February 10, the show will debut at 8pm, right after the Super Bowl, leading into ‘Rescue: HI-Surf’. However, ‘Rescue: HI-Surf’ has now been swapped out for another program, ‘The Floor’.

The fresh trailer showcases a format distinct from Fox’s previous survival shows, notably featuring everyday civilians instead of celebrities. In ‘Extracted’, twelve untrained individuals navigate the treacherous Canadian wilderness plagued by fierce predators and harsh conditions. Their families, stationed miles away in a secure headquarters and monitoring their loved ones through a constant live feed, hold the ultimate decision-making power regarding their survival.

Families can choose whether to let their contestant endure the hardships of the wilderness for a shot at a $250,000 prize or to hit the dreaded “Extract” button, withdrawing their loved one and eliminating them from the contest. This gripping premise resonates with the question of how far family members will go to support their loved ones.

Created by Sony Pictures Television’s B17 Entertainment, along with Sylvester Stallone’s Balboa Productions and Fox Alternative Entertainment, the show is helmed by Rob Buchta. Known for his work on ‘Running Wild with Bear Grylls’, Buchta is joined by a team of executive producers including Stallone and others, crafting a thrilling take on survival competitions that promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.

Survival shows have surged in popularity, often highlighting extreme settings and challenges faced by both celebrities and everyday people. ‘Extracted’ attempts to innovate the genre by centering on untrained civilian contestants, adding an emotional layer by allowing their families to influence their fate. Set in the rugged landscapes of Canada, the series promises high-stakes challenges and an intense psychological component that explores the dynamics of family trust and risk.

‘Extracted’ offers a fresh spin on the survival competition genre, promising viewers an intense mix of physical endurance and emotional stakes. By integrating family involvement, it raises poignant questions about support and sacrifice in pursuit of a major financial reward. Set against the harsh backdrop of the Canadian wilderness, it embarks on a thrilling exploration of what it means to survive amidst unimaginable challenges.
