“To the Summit” – Sixteen ordinary Americans embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey through the treacherous New Zealand Alps in an attempt to reach the peak of a towering mountain in just 14 days in order to keep their share of the $1 million prize they’re carrying in their backpacks. After a medical emergency occurs just hours into the trek and the climbers face a perilous obstacle crossing a ravine, fears rise as the Mountain’s Keeper, who is tracking them along their journey, forces the group to make their first brutal moral decision, on the sneak peek series premiere of THE SUMMIT, Sunday, Sept. 29 (9:00-10:30 PM, ET; 8:30-10:00 PM, PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on-demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on-demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*.

On CBS’ THE SUMMIT, 16 strangers are brought to the New Zealand Alps, aware they’re going to be competing, but unclear about what their task actually is. In the show’s series premiere (which airs with a special preview on Sunday, September 29 at 9/8c; 8:30 PM PT), they discover their goal of the series: They have to climb up a mountain—while also carrying the $1 million prize—in two weeks.
The journey is treacherous, with physical and mental challenges…and a “Mountain’s Keeper,” watching from afar, who makes sure they abide by the rules in place.
As the contestants make the trek, they have host Manu Bennett along for the ride. Bennett, best known to TV audiences from his roles on SPARTACUS and ARROW, pops up along the way to check in on the group, be there as they have to make their eliminations, and give them vital pieces of gameplay information.
Here, Bennett talks with Give Me My Remote about moving into the hosting world and what viewers can expect from the new series. Read more
ARROW Ups Manu Bennett to Series Regular

ARROW has promoted another actor — a Warner Bros. rep confirms that Manu Bennett (Slade Wilson) will return for the upcoming second season as a series regular. The Hollywood Reporter was first to break the news.
Bennett has appeared in a handful of episodes in the show’s freshman run so far, and at this point, has only appeared in flashbacks to Oliver’s time on the island. Of course, there’s also the lingering question as to whether Bennett’s Slade Wilson will ultimately morph into the villain Deathstroke — who held quite the grudge against Oliver in the comics.
Are you excited to get more Manu Bennett in ARROW’s second year?
