In its first season, the Extracted series was only a middle-of-the-road performer for FOX in the ratings. Still, this reality series outperformed a lot of the network’s scripted shows. How will the show perform this time around? Will more viewers tune in? Will Extracted be cancelled or renewed for season three? Stay tuned.
A survivalist competition series, the Extracted TV series features 12 untrained players attempting to survive extremely grueling conditions, perilous terrain, and the threat of fearsome predators in the unforgiving Canadian wilderness. Meanwhile, some miles away, their family members are locked down at a secluded headquarters and watching them navigate their dangerous surroundings alone via a 24/7 live feed. As tensions mount and strategic alliances are forged in HQ, the opposing families negotiate and compete to send essential lifelines and resources to their competitors in the wild to help them endure the harsh conditions. Each amateur survivalist’s family has the power to decide whether their loved one has what it takes to brave the elements and fight to be the last one standing, or whether the family will push the ominous “Extract” button and remove their loved one and their whole family from the competition and the chance to win the $250,000 prize.
