TV show description:
From executive producer Grant Kahler and Nomad Entertainment, the Castaways TV show is like if Survivor and Lost had a reality TV series baby, complete with flashbacks to the subjects’ pre-island life.
With the stated aim of “testing the human need for companionship under extreme circumstances,” Castaways follows real people who have been dropped on small Indonesian islands, with the challenge to survive. Other than their wits, the only tools at their disposal are the luggage that washed ashore, abandoned structures they find, and resources the Dharma Initiative production has scattered about.
At different points after the castaways land, they each learn there are “others” like them out there, but they do not know who, how many, or where to find them. Their only options are to persevere until they are rescued, or quit the series. Will there be fish biscuits? Stay tuned.
Series Finale:
Episode #10 — We Got This
Two castaways come across an abandoned camp full of journals and resources left by other survivors. Deep reflection forces all castaways to question their ability to stay, forcing yet another to quit. The remaining survivors reflect on their time on the island and how their lives will change if they are ever rescued.
First aired: September 18, 2018.

Jeez this type of show is right up my alley and I’ve never heard about it until now, when Bing is mistakenly saying it’s premiering on August 7th (which it did, *last year*). Please bring back a second season!
How do I sign up for castaways show pick me
WE WANT A REUNION OF THOSE FROM LAST SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the show and can’t wait for the next episode
I loved the show, Castaways! I so would love a try at survival and finding myself, while helping others find themselves! I’ve searched for months trying to find the last episode, and finally resorted to the internet. It was a true human drama, in every way. We need more shows like this that show how real people act when “put to the test!”
I am so disappointed that this show was not advertised better. I think the low ratings are a direct result. I didn’t know about this show until after it was over and watched the whole season on Hulu in 2 days.
I would so badly want to be on the show. I love the concept and really hope it is brought back.
If so….can I be on??
Kind of corny. We watched to the very end . But could not figure out what happened to the older lady who’s mom had dementia. I think her name was Terri or Tracey. Last we saw, she had returned to her camp & then what? Next thing you see is the 2 guys finding her deserted camp & taking all her stuff.
Liked seeing what happened to the last survivors & was totally awed at Robbie’s loss of weight.
Just wish they could have showed us everyone’s lives post Castaway show.
