Plot Synopsis

Mykel Hawke, a former U.S. Army Special Forces survival expert, and his wife Ruth, a former news anchor and TV host, are blindfolded and dumped into the wilderness -- in an undisclosed location with minimal supplies and precious few clues as to where they actually are -- and use their survival expertise and skills to identify where they are and get back to civilization. Following their two-season run on MAN, WOMAN, WILD, Mykel and Ruth are back for more adventure on LOST SURVIVORS, but this time they have no way to prepare for their challenges, because they don't know where they'll be. Once they're dropped into the wild, they rely on instinct, expertise and the strength of each other to figure out how to get out, putting their skills and relationship to the ultimate test as as they climb, crawl and claw their way through forbidding landscapes. In each 60-minute episode, the couple faces a new challenge in a different part of the world, including: an American swamp with miles of gator-infested waters; hostile terrain in a Central American rain forest; uninhabitable deserted islands with shark-infested channels; a shifting glacier in Iceland; rugged Appalachian terrain; and a desolate island, locked in a prison.
