The Island is an American survival skills reality television series, hosted by adventurer and survivalist Bear Grylls on NBC, which began airing on May 25, 2015.

Bear Grylls seeks to find out whether a modern American man can survive on a deserted island for one month without the luxuries or the basics of contemporary everyday life.

Unlike traditional reality television shows, The Island does not include any prizes, eliminations, or winners.

In the series' premiere, fourteen men from various occupations and backgrounds are taken to a remote, uninhabited island by Bear Grylls, where they were left completely alone.

Filming themselves, the men hunt for food, source water, erect shelter, build community and try to survive using only their strength, determination and know-how.
