Survivor

The Traitors US is coming to BBC iPlayer, kicking off the same day the UK series ends. Hosted by Alan Cumming, the series differentiates itself from its British counterpart by featuring celebrity contestants, largely from reality TV.

The contestants are divided into ‘Traitors’ and ‘Faithfuls’, who will then compete to win $250,000. The Traitors will operate covertly, ‘murdering’ Faithfuls nightly, and try to avoid being discovered and banished at the round tables.

The greatest comebacks since Lazarus – or lazy commissioning? An RTS national event in mid-October that boasted a panel of executives responsible for resurrecting many entertainment shows offered some answers.

Lenny Henry: One of a Kind

Thursday

ITV1, 9.00pm

Lenny Henry recently paid tribute to the Windrush Generation in his new heartfelt ITV period drama Three Little Birds, but now it's time for the one-off entertainer himself to be championed by colleagues, friends and family in a one-off documentary.

Survivor has been off the UK screens since 2002, but has been having a huge amount of success overseas, with the US version airing its 44^th season in March 2023.

The revived Survivor will follow a similar format to the US show, with the competitors forming tribal groups. The contestants will catch and hunt their food, build their own shelter, and navigate life on the island in their tribes.
