Rob Rausch and Maura Higgins Set to Front Peacock’s New Jungle Survival Series

Rob Rausch and Maura Higgins are swapping the usual reality‑TV drama for a whole new kind of chaos – they’re stepping behind the microphone as the hosts of Peacock’s next big competition, tentatively titled “Get Me Out of Here.”

The concept, cooked up by ITV America, is simple enough to sound almost comical: toss a celebrity and a non‑celebrity friend or family member into a dense, unforgiving jungle and watch them scramble through physical and psychological tests that would make a boot‑camp instructor wince. The stakes? Survival in the literal sense – stay out of the elimination pit and you’re still in the game. Lose, and you’re out, no matter how famous you are.

What makes this show a little different from the endless stream of survival formats is the “friendship test” angle. The duos have to rely on each other like never before, navigating everything from swarms of insects to bewildering puzzles while stripped of the usual perks of fame – no luxury trailers, no makeup artists, just the raw jungle and their own wits.

According to the official logline, the final pair standing will walk away with a $100,000 cash prize. Along the way, viewers will get a front‑row seat to see how these celebs cope when the VIP treatment disappears, and whether their bonds can survive the mud, the heat, and the occasional surprise‑crocodile‑shaped obstacle.

Both hosts come with impressive reality‑TV résumés. Rausch made his mark as the sole winner of “The Traitors” Season 4 and later turned heads on “Love Island USA.” Higgins, meanwhile, was a finalist on the UK’s “Love Island” and has danced her way onto “Dancing With the Stars.” Their chemistry should add a witty, off‑beat commentary to the otherwise tense proceedings.

“Get Me Out of Here” joins an international lineage that began with the format “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!” – a franchise originally created by Lifted Entertainment and now distributed worldwide by ITV Studios. Executive producers David George, David Eilenberg and Jordana Hochman are steering the ship, aiming for a 2027 debut on Peacock.
