About the Show

In the hourlong "The Island," the internationally acclaimed adventurer and survivalist Bear Grylls gives the modern American man the ultimate challenge. Can a man of today's world survive on a deserted island without the luxuries - or even the basics - of contemporary everyday life?

Based on the hit Shine TV-produced Channel 4 U.K. series of the same name, "The Island," doesn't include any of the usual reality-show trappings. There are no prizes. No eliminations. No winner. No camera teams. The entire series is filmed by the men themselves. The six episodes leave 14 American men isolated on a deserted island with only the clothes on their backs and minimal survival tools, committed to filming every moment themselves.

The series is executive produced by Bear Grylls, Eden Gaha, Michael Brooks, Holly Wofford and Delbert Shoopman.
