I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! (American TV series)

Revival series

On October 21, 2021, it was reported that ITV Studios subsidiary ITV America was pitching a reboot of the series under the title Celebrity Castle, with Blumhouse Productions—a studio known for its production of horror films—as co-producer. The pitch was reported to have been influenced by series 20 of the British version, which moved from Australia to Gwrych Castle in Wales due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.^[4] In 2023, it was revealed that plans for the proposed spin-off had not progressed beyond the pitching phase with ITV Studios now prioritising efforts into obtaining a new commission for the original jungle format.^[5]

In September 2026, it was announced that NBCUniversal's streaming service Peacock had ordered a reboot of the US version. Now titled Get Me Out of Here, it will be hosted by Maura Higgins and Rob Rausch, and is slated to premiere in 2027. In a change to previous seasons, the reboot will feature celebrities paired with a non-famous friend or family member. The winning team will receive a $100,000 grand prize.^[6]

Season 1 (2003)

The first season had ten contestants.^[7] It aired nightly from February 19, 2003, to March 5, 2003, on ABC. John Lehr was the host from the Australian outback. The time differential created serious issues with the live feed.

Notes

Season 2 (2009)

NBC picked up the former ABC show. It aired for 14 episodes and followed the British show's format.^[3] The series premiered with a two-hour episode 8–10 PM EDT on June 1, 2009. It aired with a two-hour episode at 8–10 PM every Monday and at 8–9 PM Tuesday through Thursday until its June 24 finale. MTV subsequently showed a marathon (adding unaired footage and commentary from cast members) of the preceding week's episodes on Sundays.
