Long-time host Jeff Probst announced on Wednesday that an animated Survivor movie featuring animal contestants is in the works at Paramount Animation. Probst will serve as executive producer on the project. In a video posted to Instagram announcing the project, Probst said, “Imagine a big, fun, animated comedy about Survivor in the animal kingdom. I am so excited. This is the perfect fit. Survivor has always been about watching different personalities learning how to live together while competing against each other, and setting it in the world of animals gives us a whole new playground to play with.” The official synopsis for the project states, “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.” In his video, Probst told Survivor fans that he was “very, very, very excited” about the project, adding that he “can’t wait for you to meet this new tribe.” Survivor, featuring human contestants, is currently in production in Fiji for a season set to premiere this fall on CBS.
