THE SUMMIT
Sixteen strangers will embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey through the treacherous New Zealand Alps in an attempt to reach the peak of a distant, towering mountain. With their backpacks containing an equal share of $1 million, the group must traverse an exhausting distance in just 14 days in order to win the cash they are carrying. But not everyone will make it, as these strangers must work together to tackle the dangerous terrain, unforgiving Antarctic winds, heart-pounding challenges and gut-wrenching eliminations on their way to the peak. Tracking them along this journey is the “Mountain’s Keeper” who will surprise the trekkers with brutal twists and force decisions that complicate an already grueling ascent. Morals and relationships will be tested when they must decide what to do if someone falls behind, because if the group fails to reach THE SUMMIT in time, all the prize money will be lost.
A “Sneak Peek” of THE SUMMIT premieres on Sunday, Sept. 29 (9:00-10:30 PM, ET; 8:30-10:00 PM, PT), before moving to its regular timeslot beginning Wednesday, Oct. 16 (9:30-11:00 PM, ET/PT). An encore of the first episode will air Wednesday, Oct. 9 (9:30-11:00 PM, ET/PT).
