Return To Paradise | Preview (BBC One)

A Second Chance

A second chance is what nine strangers are offered when they are flown to an idyllic island in the Pacific. They are told that 200,000 has been hidden on the island and that they have six weeks to find it, sharing equally in their cash find, if they do.

Returning contestants from the first series include sales manager Craig and university professor Simon, who both failed to uncover the cash last time. The new players include single mom-of-three Kelly, posh lawyer Kasia, and former soldier Gerry.

The Challenge

The search for cash doesn't come without its challenges, especially with the scorching heat and lack of supplies. The castaways are also given cryptic clues to decode, each of which leads to a paradise box containing a key.

The contestants must search for these keys and avoid getting eliminated by being voted off the island by the others at the weekly tribal council. The last person standing will win the cash, but only if they can crack the final clue and locate the hidden treasure.

Paradise Lost

In a series twist, on day 14, the contestants are split into two tribes, but the peace doesn't last long. Rumors and tension brew as allegiances are tested.

The castaways must overcome both the challenges of the island and their own personal demons. They must learn to survive in a harsh environment, form alliances, and outwit each other. The question is, who will crack under pressure and who will emerge victorious?
