Extracted is a unique one of it’s kind survival reality TV show set to debut on FOX on Feburary 10th. Ahead of the series release, I had the pleasure of catching up with Megan Hine who was the Head of Extraction on the series. We dove into the unique concept, putting together the series and what audiences have in store throughout the season. 

What is Extract about?

One-of-a-kind survivalist competition series Extracted, features 12 untrained competitors 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 watching them navigate their dangerous surroundings alone via a 24/7 live feed. The fate of each untrained contestant in the wilderness lies in the hands of their family members back in HQ. 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. Extracted begs the question: how far will their loved ones let them go for a chance for their family to win $250,000? in the all-new “Survive the Night” series premiere episode of Extracted airing Monday, Feb 10 (8:00-9:03 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (EXT-101) (TV-14 L)
