Fox Orders Competition Series THE SNAKE to Series

Fox has THE SNAKE, a “social survival of the fittest” competition show, to series.

According to the network, “THE SNAKE is social survival of the fittest, where each contestant must leverage their unique skills, training and powers of persuasion as they face a multitude of challenges designed to showcase the traits needed to be successful in the game. The winner of each challenge becomes The Snake, earning control of The Saving Ceremony, an explosive, chain reaction elimination where it’s not about who wants you gone, but who is willing to save you. The Snake doesn’t just hinge on winning challenges – it’s about winning people over. The social aspect of the game never stops – connections are everything whether you’re making friends, faking friends, or sparking romantic connections. Promises are put to the test during the Saving Ceremony as players do everything in their power to avoid being picked last by The Snake, hoping to escape elimination. Every week is a fresh start with a new gauntlet and a new Snake. In the end, only one contestant will get within striking distance of the $100,000 grand prize. Befriend, Betray, or Be Gone.”

Jim Jefferies will serve as the show’s host.

“[Showrunner] SallyAnn [Salsano brings her uniquely original voice to FOX with this fresh take on the strategy competition series and a universally appealing concept that will captivate audiences,” said Michael Thorn, President of FOX Television Network, in a statement. “Trust Me … The Snake lives up to its name.”

“I’m thrilled to be hosting THE SNAKE!” added Jefferies. “A show about making friends and faking friends. I’ve been training for this job my whole life. Growing up in Australia, and now living in Hollywood, I’ve been around plenty of snakes.”
