The new series of Shipwrecked promises a ‘back to basics' theme that will see a return to its roots. Neil McCallum, Head of T4 and Music said:

"As one of the pioneering reality shows, Shipwrecked has always proved to be a firm favourite amongst T4 fans. So it's great to be bringing the show back this autumn, with its refreshed format and new back to basics approach to island life."

Executive Producer Tayte Simpson said:

‘The rules and format will be kept tightly under wraps, but we can say that applicants should be prepared for the experience to be tougher than ever... Yes it's paradise, but this is no summer holiday.'

Shipwrecked will be executive produced by Tayte Simpson for RDF Television, part of Zodiak Media Group and the series producer will be Kate Bates. The commissioning editor for T4 is Neil McCallum.

Shipwrecked is an RDF Television, part of Zodiak Media Group production. Zodiak Rights holds worldwide rights to the format and the finished programmes.
