'Castaways': Five reasons why you should check out the revolutionary reality show

ABC's 'Castaways' finds 12 participants on a quest to survive and find companionship on the scenic islets of Indonesia
PUBLISHED JUL 20, 2018

'Castaways' is a revolutionary new series which puts to test the basic human drive to survive and the need of companionship. The show takes viewers on an emotional roller-coaster as they witness the riveting journey of 12 participants on a quest to survive and find companionship.

The individuals come from diverse walks of life and are dropped alone on the various islets of Indonesia which are scenic and beautiful but hauntingly isolated. The challenge is to survive among washed-up luggage, extremely scattered and rare resources, and abandoned structures. The only two ways to leave the isolated islands are to persevere long enough to be rescued or to quit.
