With the initial ratings of the show under the title “The Island” being promising enough, the producing team is just compelled to announce its second season. Nevertheless, they are tight-lipped so far being not in a hurry to rush things up. Thus, the series is on the hook so far. That’s why let’s keep our eyes open in the case of the near appearance of any kind of info.
Making a short sketch
Following the idea of describing briefly this project, we are set to acknowledge of the main production aspects. So, let’s start. The series is an adventure show by the genre. The broadcasting is a matter of concern of the producers of the NBC channel. Now we are in possession of one chapter that includes six episodes. The premiere was held in the previous May. Since that time, the silence is kept concerning the series resumption for the sophomore cycle.
The Island is a show about survival skills of people and is reckoned to be a response to the similar show broadcasted on CBS under the title “Survivor”.
The production of this particular project is lying on Endemol Shine North America (Fake Off) and Bear Grylls Ventures (Running Wild with Bear Grylls, Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls).
The team of executives is spearheaded by Bear Grylls (The Island with Bear Grylls, Bear Grylls: Mission Survive, Man vs. Wild). He has been working on the pioneer season in harness with Eden Gaha, Michael Brooks, Holly Wofford, and Delbert Shoopman.
Following main aspects of the real life story
The show about survival is hosted by survivalist Bear Grylls, the famous adventurer. By the way, it is not his first project on NBC and he has already cooperated with the team of Get Out Alive and Running Wild. The first one mentioned has been unfortunately canceled after the first premiere but the latter one is already renewed for the second season that is scheduled to be broadcasted this summer.
But let’s get to the very concept. The participants of this show are the team consisting of 14 ordinary American men, aged 21 to 64. They are to apply all their skills in order to survive on a deserted island without any luxuries, or even the main conveniences that the civilized world can offer that is food, water, and dwelling.
The series is distinguished by the absence of any supposed prizes for winners, any eliminations, as well as camera teams. The shooting is performed by the participants themselves.

The reviews are great with critics naming this project worthy and promising. On IMDb, we are dealing with the scoring constituting, however, only 5.8 points out of 10.
Thus, the series can be renewed but so far we have not info regarding this including The Island season 2 release date.
