NBC has ordered a scripted series for summer about a reality show gone way bad.

Siberia, which will bow July 1 at 10 p.m., is about a group of contestants who arrive in a remote Siberian territory of Tunguska where a meteor hit back in 1908. When a player is badly hurt and no help arrives, the 16 contestants realize the strange occurrences on the island are not part of the show.

?The concept of survival, when mysterious elements are at play, makes for a compelling show,? said Jeff Bader, President, Program Planning, Strategy and Research for NBC Entertainment, in a statement. ?We believe a scripted series that offers an insightful behind-the-scenes view of how a reality concept comes together ? especially when things don?t go according to plan ? will connect with our audience in a very satisfying way.?

Looks pretty interesting, but with a premise like this I wonder how many seasons they can get out of it. After maybe 2 or 3, it's got to explain a lot of what is really happening and kind of shift its focus. But it does look kinda cool and weird.

I think it's just a one season thing to show during the Summer

Ye, don't see how this can stay on the air longer than one season. Maybe even get canceled before the end of the season.

NBC will have nothing on so they will show the full season probably unless its abysmal ratings

Ye it s a good point. If they don't have anything else then we can get stuck with a crappy show just because of that :)

Hmm, the "reality show" approach of it is a bit off for me (this coming from a Survivor fan). Almost 2/3 of the first episode was used to set up the reality show feel. I'll probably wait and see if the next episode are engaging enough. The plot is interesting, though.

      Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
