Survivor UK is back, so where is the reality show filmed?
After more than 20 years away Survivor UK is finally coming back to our screens this weekend and we cannot wait.
The reality competition reboot show sees 18 castaways compete for £100,000 and the title of 'Sole Survivor'. In order to achieve this coveted title the castaways must survive on a deserted beach, with limited supplies and provisions. They're divided into two tribes and must compete in a series of intense physical and mental challenges.
The winning tribe of each challenge wins a reward and immunity from tribal council. The losing team however heads to a tribal council where they must vote one of their team mates out. This continues until just one castaway remains.
The series is set to start on 28th October on BBC and we can't wait to see the 18 castaways attempt to survive on a deserted beach. Speaking of the beach, where in the world is Survivor UK filmed? Here's everything you need to know about Survivor UK's location.
Where was Survivor UK filmed?
This series of Survivor UK was filmed over the summer of 2023 in the Dominican Republic, in a remote part of the island that no other Survivor series has shot in before, a BBC spokesperson confirmed to Cosmopolitan UK.
The Dominican Republic is one of the many countries in the Caribbean, and temperatures can reach up to 34 degrees in the hottest months, so spare a thought for the castaways trying to survive in that heat.
When Survivor UK first aired in the UK in 2001, the series took place in Pulau Tiga, Malaysia and saw 16 contestants compete for the title of 'Sole Survivor'.
And for series two in 2002 the show was filmed in Panama in Central America with just 12 castaways competing.
Survivor UK was not renewed for a third season on ITV, and it's taken more than 20 years to get the series to return for a UK addition, now showing on the BBC.
Survivor starts on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Saturday 28th October at 8:25pm.
