Lauren Alaina, Colton Underwood Join ‘Beyond the Edge’ Competition

CBS announced the new reality series Beyond the Edge,  which features nine celebrities trading their worlds of luxury to live in the dangerous jungles of Panama, where they face off in epic adventures and endure the most brutal conditions, as they push themselves to go far beyond their comfort zone.

From the producers of Naked and Afraid comes the most intense celebrity adventure ever attempted. Beyond the Edge will premiere Wednesday, March 16 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and will be available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+*. SHOWTIME Sports announcer Mauro Ranallo hosts. 

Beyond the Edge airs right after Survivor at 8 pm ET/PT.

The nine celebrities who will brave the Panama jungle in Beyond the Edge include familiar faces such as American Idol and Dancing with The Stars alum Lauren Alaina. The country singer is competing in her third reality show. Also, Colton Underwood from The Bachelorette/Bachelor, who came out as gay last year is also joining the cast.

The remaining 7 contestants include Super Bowl MVP Ray Lewis, country singer Craig Morgan, NBA champion Metta World Peace, supermodel Paulina Porizkova, NFL legend Mike Singletary, actress Jodie Sweetin (Full House, Fuller House) and Eboni K. Williams (The Real Housewives of New York City).

The celebrities endure the Panama jungle to raise money for charity

For two weeks, the celebrities will see if they have the grit to withstand torrential downpours, scorching heat and deadly wildlife while living in the exotic Panama jungle. There won’t be any judges or eliminations – instead, each celebrity must rely on their inner fortitude, physical ability, and courage, and have faith in their teammates to endure in the wild. For each day they last, and every grueling adventure challenge they win with their team, the celebrities will raise more money for their charities. If a player reaches their breaking point, they can ring a bell to signal that they are ready to go home. At the end of the 14 days, the top two earners will go head to head in one final adventure, to see who can become the Beyond the Edge champion and take home the most money for their charity.
