Overview

Koh-Lanta is a French reality game show based on the international Survivor format that premiered on August 4, 2001. The series follows a group of contestants as they attempt to survive on an uninhabited island. Participants typically number between fourteen and eighteen individuals. The standard duration for the adventure is 40 days, while special editions are condensed to 20 days. Throughout their stay, contestants must secure their own food to supplement a provided ration of rice. They are also responsible for constructing shelters to protect themselves from insects and various weather conditions. Maintaining a fire is a critical component of their survival, which they must either build themselves or earn through success in an initial comfort test.

The show is broadcast as a competition where individuals must adapt to their surroundings to remain in the game.
