LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Netflix's highly-anticipated show 'Surviving Paradise' premieres on Friday, October 20, 2023 at 3 am ET, and is expected to bring together a diverse cast-list of contestants from all walks for the lucrative $100,000 trophy prize.

Eva, short for Evangeline, is one of the contestants who will soon find out that the life of luxury promised to her on the show is a facade that will soon evaporate, leaving her in the wilderness to fend for herself against the elements and other competitors.
