Alan Ritchson has built a career as an action star in projects like “Reacher,” “Smallville” and “War Machine”<\/a> — and he’s ready to share what he’s learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The actor has set a survival competition show at Netflix with Bunim\/Murray Productions, where “a group of high-profile influencers and headline-makers” will have their resilience and grit tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As an avid survivalist, Ritchson will help guide the participants through the competition, pushing them beyond their limits and into the unknown,” per the logline on Tudum<\/a>. “With all the comforts and luxuries of modern-day life stripped away, the players will have to rely on their instincts, determination and each other to outlast the competition and discover who they are without fame and followers.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Do they have what it truly takes to endure? Will they risk losing their carefully curated personas in the process? And who will break first under the pressure?” Netflix further asks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Showrunner Jay Bienstock (“Survivor,” “13: Fear Is Real”) will executive produce alongside Rupert Dobson, Gayani Wanigaratne and Ritchson, with John Faratzis serving as co-EP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The currently untitled series follows similar concepts at Netflix such as “Outlast,” “Snowflake Mountain” and “Surviving Paradise.” Other upcoming competition reality shows<\/a> for the streamer include “The Golden Ticket” and “Win the Mall,” as well as new seasons of “Squid Game: The Challenge” and “Million Dollar Secret.”<\/p>\n\n\n
