In the show, 20 people compete to become the Ultimate Survivor, surviving physical challenges and convoluted team alliances on a tropical island. The group is initially divided into two tribes, which have to go head-to-head in a series of gruelling challenges.
The losing team faces Tribal Council, where one of their members is voted off.

Created by Charlie Parsons, Survivor is one of the most watched reality entertainment formats around the world, with 50 regional versions produced to date.
25 years old this year, Survivor will soon air its 43rd series in the US. Previous seasons of the CBS hit have been set in Borneo, Vanuatu, the Amazon, Philippines, Philippines and Africa, all equally spectacular and inhospitable.
Despite its global popularity, these US editions of the show remain unaired in the UK, presumably as a consequence of rights issues. Survivor was previously adapted by ITV.
Survivor Australia and Survivor South Africa can be seen on Prime Video.
Kate Phillips, Director of Unscripted at the BBC said: "Survivor is a global television hit and to be able to bring one of TV's most successful formats to audiences in the UK in a uniquely BBC way is a very exciting prospect indeed."
Natalka Znak, CEO Remarkable Entertainment said: "Survivor is the greatest gameshow on earth for a reason - it has everything - reality, adventure, drama, and the ultimate game. I can't wait to be boots on the ground, working with Paul Osborne, Stephen Lovelock and the fantastic team at Remarkable to make this epic series for the BBC."
