Watch Survivor UK: Synopsis
After 21 long years and countless versions around the globe, Survivor UK is finally set to return to screens with 16 action-packed episodes and 18 fearless contestants. In this guide we'll explain all you need to know to watch Survivor UK online, including free streams and what days it will broadcast.
With Survivor Season 45 recently starting in the US, it was surely only a matter of time before the enormously popular show returned to UK shores. Well, we say 'UK shores'... the revival of Survivor UK actually sees its contestants heading to the Caribbean tropics of the Dominican Republic for a series of physical and cerebral challenges to find out who will be crowned Sole Survivor.
And it's not just the coveted title that the 18 islanders will battle it out for. There's also a cool ￡100,000 up for grabs for the eventual winner. Not quite the $1m that the US contestants have at stake, but still not bad!
Joel Dommett is on hosting duties for a show that the BBC calls the "ultimate physical and psychological game", with contestants from around the UK aged between 21 and 45 and with such diverse backgrounds as Finance Risk Manager to a Surf School Owner.
Find out all the details about the series below including how to watch Survivor UK online and stream every new episode from wherever you are.

How to watch Survivor UK from anywhere
If you're a UK citizen on vacation or working overseas, you can still watch Survivor UK just as you would at home.
While BBC iPlayer is for licence fee-paying Brits and blocks access from IP addresses outside of the UK, there's a handy piece of software called a VPN which can change your IP address to make it look like you're accessing streaming services from any country in the world.
For example, UK citizens in the States can subscribe to a VPN, join a UK based server and tune into all the programmes on BBC iPlayer from anywhere in the world, just like you would back home.
Watch Survivor UK as if you were at home with a VPN
Of all the VPNs out there that can help change your IP address, ExpressVPN is the very best around for streaming. And not just BBC iPlayer, either... it's great for watching other streaming services when overseas, too. It runs on pretty much every device you can think of, has superb 24/7 customer service if you need help, and even has a 30-day money back guarantee so that you can try it out risk-free.View Deal
How To Use A VPN To Unblock Streaming Services:

3. Stream away! - login to your streaming service – BBC iPlayer in this instance - and stream like you were in your home country
