The Twist That Will Keep You on the Edge of Your Seat
Survival-themed competition shows place contestants in all kinds of perilous situations — harsh terrain, frigid temperatures, and little or no sources of sustenance. But the new reality show Extracted, premiering Feb. 10 on Fox, features what could be the scariest survival twist yet: Players aren’t allowed to leave until their family and friends — who are watching them from afar — decide they’ve had enough. That ought to make Thanksgiving 2025 extra awkward.
The Concept Behind Extracted
According to the official description from Fox, “Extracted features 12 untrained competitors attempting to survive extremely grueling conditions, perilous terrain, and the threat of fearsome predators in the unforgiving Canadian wilderness. Meanwhile, some miles away, their family members are locked down at a secluded headquarters watching them navigate their dangerous surroundings alone via a 24/7 live feed. The fate of each untrained contestant in the wilderness lies in the hands of their family members back in HQ.
Each amateur survivalist’s family has the power to decide whether their loved one has what it takes to brave the elements and fight to be the last one standing, or whether the family will push the ominous ‘Extract’ button and remove their loved one and their whole family from the competition.”
