DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO ‘SURVIVE THE CITY’?

If civilisation as we know it came to an end, how would you cope? In an abandoned urban environment stripped of light, power, water and heat, what would YOU do? 

SURVIVE THE CITY (working title) is a new TV series for a major broadcaster in which a cross-section of ordinary people must survive for 28 days in a ruined city without any of the comforts of modern life. This series will examine what we would do and how we cope when pushed to the edge of modern existence.   

We are looking for a wide range of people with ingenuity, resilience and the courage to put
themselves to the ultimate test. No experience of survival is necessary.  

We can only consider applications from people aged 18+.   

As part of your application, we will ask you to upload a photo of yourself and a short video
introducing yourself and telling us why you would like to take part. 

Applications close on the 8th of June 2025 at midnight. Any applications submitted after this date may not be considered.
