'Castaways': Meet the cast of the show ahead of its premiere on August 7

The new reality TV series 'Castaways' has revealed the 12 participants who will take part in the first season of the show

The new reality TV series 'Castaways' will be testing the human need for companionship under extreme circumstances. Each participant on the show knows that there are other castaways out there but are unaware of how many of them there are, their locations or when they will be rescued. The show is going to be set in very scenic locations and will follow the journey of 12 contestants as they are left to fend for themselves on various islets in Indonesia. 

The participants will be challenged to survive among washed-up luggage, extremely scattered resources, and abandoned structures. The only way that they can get off the island is either to grit their teeth and stick it through and wait to be rescued, or simply quit. The series will show flashbacks in a documentary fashion of the lives the individuals led and left behind before coming on the show. 

'Castaways' is set to premiere on August 7 and here is an opportunity to get to know the 12 castaways before the premiere.
