Rob Rausch and Maura Higgins Team Up to Host Peacock’s New Jungle Survival Show

Rob Rausch and Maura Higgins are swapping the usual glitz of reality‑TV lounges for mud, vines and a whole lot of grit. The former “Traitors” champion and “Love Island USA” breakout, together with the UK “Love Island” finalist who also tried her hand at “Dancing With the Stars,” are slated to host a brand‑new competition series on Peacock.

Working title “Get Me Out of Here,” the show is set to launch sometime in 2027. From ITV America’s stable, the series will drop a group of celebrities—each paired with a non‑celebrity friend, family member, or partner—into a dense, unforgiving jungle. Once the helicopter doors close, the duos are stripped of every luxury they’re used to and thrust into a series of physical and psychological challenges designed to test stamina, teamwork, and, frankly, how well they can survive without a personal assistant on standby.

The premise is simple enough, but the execution promises drama. Contestants must rely on each other like never before, navigating swampy terrain, wildlife encounters, and grueling tasks that push both mind and body to the brink. Those who crumble get eliminated, while the last remaining pair walks away with a $100,000 prize.

“Get Me Out of Here” draws its DNA from the long‑running international format “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!”—originally created by Lifted Entertainment and now distributed by ITV Studios. Executive producers David George, David Eilenberg, and Jordana Hochman are steering the production, hoping the mix of celebrity sparkle and raw survival will capture audiences looking for something tougher than a typical dating‑show.

Rausch earned his reality‑TV cred as the sole winner of “The Traitors” Season 4, after first making a splash on “Love Island USA.” Higgins, meanwhile, reached the finale of Britain’s “Love Island” in its fifth season and later showed off her dancing chops on “Dancing With the Stars.” Both have proven they can handle the spotlight, but this new gig will test whether they can also handle a snake‑infested night‑camp.

Fans can expect the usual mix of eye‑popping challenges—think eating questionable jungle delicacies, navigating rope courses at night, and confronting fears of insects—paired with the genuine emotional moments that arise when a famous face is forced to depend on someone who isn’t a publicist. The show’s logline sums it up nicely: “Relying on each other like never before, teams must navigate everything the jungle throws their way as their grit, stamina and resilience are pushed to the limit.”

While the exact premiere date is still under wraps, Peacock has confirmed that the series will debut in 2027, adding another bold entry to its growing slate of reality offerings. If the buzz surrounding Rausch and Higgins is any indication, “Get Me Out of Here” could become the next big thing for viewers who crave both drama and a little bit of sweat.
