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.
What do you think? Do you like the Castaways TV series? Should this ABC TV show have been cancelled or renewed for a second season?
Loved the premise of the program. I was enthroned with the challenge of locating and tracking all the participants’ travels among the islands given the areal shots.
Loved it!!!
I absolutely loved the show. After it was over, I watched the entire thing over a weekend again with family who hadn’t heard of it. We did wish they would have shown everyone at the end like a reunion show. I especially liked Terry and wanted to see what happened to her after the show. My daughter, who had tried to get on Survivor twice, said she liked this better.
loved it
Loved the show. Hope it will come back.
I feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone everyone saying I hope they get renewed for a second season yes I agree but before we even begin to talk about that can we talk about how I hope that they’re doing ever Union episode because I’m floored that no one has said anything and doesn’t think that it’s necessary almost out of any TV show especially reality that I’ve ever watched and I’ve watched a lot this is probably the most needed Union show of all times and not for the drama or a Fallout or fight or anything stupid… Read more »
Great Show!!! love the participants, they are caring ,generous and help one another for the most part.. Looking forward to its return,
I just did a marathon of the entire show and loved ever bit! Loved how it’s not mean spirited, scripted, bulls@-*, competition. I want MORE! Just like it!
The show is pretty good
The cast seem rather original
Quite impressed with the after look at the cast and the effect doing the shoe had on them
Looking forward to another season
One of the best shows in the reality genre I’ve ever seen. So much emotion, heart-wrenching and uplifting. Show us as we truly are — enthralling!
Loved the show and hope it is not canceled..
Loved it. I would like to do this. Great learning experience. Bring it back.
I love the test that time takes on our mental ability to survive. I am hoping for season 2. I would love to do this. How might I sign up.
I loved the show. I hope there is another session. The whole time i was watching this i thought i would like to do this. To be able to finish something like that would be a mirical. Life learning experience and soul searching.
So enjoyed the path this research study of human surviving took. Robbie was a key to all those that stayed til they were rescued. Bravo Robbie. Would like to know how those that quit are today. Can we have a reunion of all 12? Please have a season 2-3-4.
I agree but cant find ANYTHING anywere about a reunion WTF almost every one of these comments about a motion how emotional connection and how people need people and you’re not going to give us a reunion to be honest with you I I did not like the little one sentence blurb at the end I was so upset I started Googling right away because that made me feel like they weren’t going to do every Union how can you give us all that substance an emotion throughout the whole show and one sentence at the end about each person… Read more »
Love this show
Was not sure I’d like it at first but, ended up loving it. Compared it to Survivor but, there is no comparison. This is surviving at it’s finest. Really hope they renew this show!
I have searched high and low for if there is going to be a ringing I’m going to be so pissed if there’s not a r e Union like out of all the shows to have her Union with people getting them all together on the same stage it would be this show ABC I will be highly disappointed and upset if you do not do a r e unit that little one sentence blurb at the end was not enough you cannot have that much background and insight into people’s life and then just and especially when this was… Read more »
