Paramount Animation Developing Animated 'Survivor' Movie

The studio plans to recast the competition as a broad animal-comedy to extend the franchise into theaters.

Overview

  • Jeff Probst announced on Instagram that Paramount Animation is developing a big-screen animated comedy version of Survivor, with Probst attached as an executive producer.
  • Paramount published an official logline saying, “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.”
  • The project brings longtime rights-holders Banijay, Amazon MGM and CBS into the film effort alongside Paramount, according to industry reports.
  • The film is currently described as being in development and no writer, director, voice cast or release date have been announced.
  • The move follows Survivor’s 50th season and ongoing production in Fiji and could expand the brand to family and animation audiences if Paramount confirms creative teams and a release plan.
