It’s back! After seven years stranded off the airwaves, E4 reality series Shipwrecked has been rescued and rebooted for a new series in 2019.

But how will the show work? And who are the new islanders?

Here’s everything you need to know…

When is Shipwrecked on TV?
While an exact airdate hasn’t been confirmed, E4 have said the 15-part series is coming “soon”.

Well, we could all do with a little fun in the sun to start 2019 couldn’t we?

What is Shipwrecked?
The new series will see a batch of adventurous young castaways competing in a sunny popularity contest on two uninhabited paradise islands in the South Pacific.

The aim of the game is simple: the islands’ two tribes – the Sharks and Tigers – have to battle it out to win over new arrivals, with a Ł50k prize fund at stake for the largest tribe at the end of the competition.

Comfy camps, cute tribe members – there are plenty of ways to attract new recruits to your side of the island. But will you be a Shark or a Tiger?

Shipwrecked was one of the earliest reality shows on UK TV, launching on Channel 4 way back in March 2000 – before the first series of Big Brother aired.

Who narrates Shipwrecked?
While Craig Kelly (Luke Strong from Coronation Street) narrated the show’s original run, Capital FM DJ and Strictly Come Dancing star Vick Hope will be the voice of the new show.


After signing on to Shipwrecked Hope said: “There are some amazing characters, epic bombshells and lovely waves of nostalgia ahead.”

Who are the contestants?
Rather than a celebrity show, Shipwrecked is set to star ordinary members of the public. Well, the attractive members of the public E4 could find.

I know a girl from Guernsey got on it and ended up leaving after like 3 weeks bc everyone hated her askdsgsshcs

Considering the advert says 'SEND HELP HOTTIES' I wouldn't be holding my breath too much for a cast full of ordinary members of the public

I mean the fact the whole advert looks like it's going to be a low budget version of SotF, I have little hope.

SOTF was the best thing to come out of 2018 though

I agree but I'd rather this take more of Survivor approach than a love Island approach. I don't want hotties an sexy singles, I want normal casting.

I had no idea that Sarah Jane Crawford was on this way back in the day

Awh I used to watch this with my mum back when B.B. was on Channel 4

[Headie]

Starts at 9pm on Monday 28th Jan. It's on every night (excluding weekends I think) for 3 weeks.

Saw a new trailer for it on Channel 4/E4 that showed footage from the actual series and fights/challenge previews etc. It looked pretty good and the cast seems fairly diverse in terms of appearances (all young hotties though)

I can't wait for this to start I hope it's as good as the early days of the old shipwrecked

Boring, looks like a bunch of failed love island applicants

[Babayaro.]

"I’m quite OCD when it comes to cleanliness. I like to cleanse my face, moisturise, sit there and be in clean bedding.”

How incredibly unique!

[Dash Darington]

"They won't have to worry about fashioning shelters out of bamboo shoots as the camp is already built with a shower, kitchen and toilet replacing the frightful long drop."

Garbage. Also, a Ł50k prize fund split among multiple winners is a joke.

[Amy Jade]

I will watch, loved the old series but if it is Love Island I'll turn odd.

Who remembers Kitten?

[Strictly Jake]

Not very diverse a cast is it

Liking the sound of big t though she will be the forum fave

Well you're watching the wrong show then. Shipwrekced has always been about young castaways. In fact there's never been a castaway in their 30s or over. So not sure what you were expecting...

Diversity comes in different forms than just ethnicity though.
