Extracted is an American reality competition television series that premiered on February 10, 2025, on Fox. It is filmed in the Canadian wilderness.[1]
Format
Twelve teams composed of one amateur survivalist ("Competitor") and two friends or family members ("Companions") are sent into a forested area in British Columbia, Canada. The Competitors are each isolated in the wilderness and must do whatever they can (e.g.: find food, build shelter) to sustain themselves while their actions are monitored by cameras throughout the area. The Companions are together in a nearby compound with a studio where they can watch and listen to all the Competitors. At set intervals throughout the competition the Companions have the opportunity to aid their teammates by selecting items for survival packages (e.g.: tools, bedding, food and other consumables) that are delivered to the Competitors via drone.
The Competitors are informed that they will have no control on when their participation in the competition ends. The Competitors can only be removed from the wilderness by their Companions, who may press a red "extract" button in the studio to initiate their Competitor's evacuation. Doing so eliminates the entire team from contention. The last team remaining will win a grand prize of $250,000.
