An animated Survivor movie set in the animal kingdom is in the works at Paramount Animation, the reality competition series’ longtime host Jeff Probst enthusiastically announced on Wednesday, June 17.

“I’m so excited to be teaming up with Paramount Animation to bring you Survivor like you’ve never seen it before…in the animal kingdom!” wrote Probst on Instagram. “This will be an all-out comedy with animals competing for the chance to be crowned the sole Survivor. Let’s go!!!!”

Probst said in the video that the movie will have “everything we love about Survivor: big personalities, funny characters, surprising alliances, competition, chaos, and of course, a lot of heart. But this time, the players aren’t humans.”

The film’s official synopsis reads, “Set on a remote and mystical island, animals from all around the globe compete for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be crowned the sole Survivor.”


Probst serves as executive producer on the film, with Banijay, Amazon MGM and CBS as rightsholders.

Premiering in 2000, the show’s milestone Survivor 50 season finale marked the franchise’s most-watched in six years, with 5.78M live + same-day viewers.

New seasons of Survivor are currently filming in Fiji, set to air this Fall.

A release date for the Survivor film is still to be announced.
