- Paramount Animation is developing an animated Survivor movie set in the animal kingdom, announced Wednesday by longtime host Jeff Probst on Instagram.
- Jeff Probst called it "an all-out comedy with animals competing for the chance to be crowned the sole Survivor" and will serve as executive producer.
- The film's official synopsis places the competition on a "remote and mystical island" with animals from all around the globe vying for a once-in-a-lifetime win.
- Banijay, Amazon MGM, and CBS hold the rights to the franchise, with Probst executive producing the Paramount Animation project.
- Survivor 50's season finale drew 5.78 million live plus same-day viewers — the franchise's most-watched finale in six years, per the source.
- New seasons of the live-action show are currently filming in Fiji and set to air this fall.
Why it matters: The animated film arrives as Survivor's live-action franchise hits a ratings high — its 50th season finale drew 5.78 million viewers, the most-watched in six years. With Banijay, Amazon MGM, and CBS all holding rights to a 25-year-old brand, Paramount is expanding the reality competition beyond its Fiji-set format into family-friendly animation.
