An animated 'Survivor' movie, set within the animal kingdom, is currently in development at Paramount Animation.

This marks a significant expansion for the long-running reality competition series, bringing its format to a new, animated audience.

Jeff Probst, the show's longtime host, enthusiastically shared the news, stating that the film will offer "Survivor like you’ve never seen it before…in the animal kingdom!" Probst confirmed his involvement as an executive producer on the project.

The movie is envisioned as an "all-out comedy" where animal contestants will vie for the title of sole Survivor.

According to Probst, the animated feature will retain core elements that fans appreciate about the live-action series.

He noted it would include "everything we love about Survivor: big personalities, funny characters, surprising alliances, competition, chaos, and of course, a lot of heart." The key difference, he highlighted, is that "this time, the players aren’t humans."

The official synopsis for the film describes it as being "Set on a remote and mystical island, animals from all around the globe compete for a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be crowned the sole Survivor." Rightsholders for the film include Banijay, Amazon MGM, and CBS.

The original 'Survivor' series, which premiered in 2000, recently celebrated its 50th season finale, drawing 5.78 million live + same-day viewers, making it the most-watched finale in six years.

New seasons of the show are currently being filmed in Fiji and are slated to air this Fall.
