Imagine a big, fun, animated comedy about Survivor, in the animal kingdom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Based on a 1997 show called Expedition Robinson, Survivor first aired in the US in 2000. A juggernaut of reality TV, the show was renewed for its 51st season earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">No additional information was confirmed regarding the film, with zero hints dropped pertaining to cast, a director, or a writer. For further details on the plot, it appears we\u2019ll need to wait until the scribe has spoken. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Luke is a Senior Editor on the IGN reviews team.
