What is Netflix's 'Surviving Paradise' all about?

If 12 strangers can fight their way out of hell, paradise awaits them. A group of naive partygoers are looking forward to the summer of their lives, but 'Surviving Paradise' has other plans.

Instead of living it up in a magnificent villa on a clifftop overlooking the sea, the players are exiled to the jungle below it, where they must survive on almost nothing.

What's the catch? Participants will be able to change their position in the game and return to the resort to compete for a life-changing money reward if they can outthink and outwit their opponents.
