Bunim/Murray Pacts with Reacher’s Alan Ritchson

Reacher star Alan Ritchson is working with Bunim/Murray Productions on a new competition series, Predator vs. Prey.

Ritchson will host and executive produce the survival series, which pits 15 reality stars from shows like Alone, Outlast and Survivor against each other on a 25-square mile rugged wilderness course. Gayani Wanigaratne, Bunim/Murray’s senior VP of development, developed the concept with Ritchson.

“This series will be the ultimate test of grit and strength, pitting top survival stars against each other in a relentless game of chase and survival through a challenging wilderness environment,” said Wanigaratne. “Partnering with Alan to co-develop this format, fueled by his passion for the survival space, brings an authentic edge and fresh creative perspective. His first question to us was, When does he get to parachute into the wilderness to greet the players!”

“Seeing the world’s best survivalists pitted against each other in a high-octane game of hide-and-seek, all while surviving days or weeks in the most frighteningly unpredictable scenarios Mother Nature has to offer…TV doesn’t get more exciting than this. I can’t wait to be in the wild with these contestants,” said Ritchson.
