Fox renews two more awful shows that should never even had one season.


Fox Renews 'The Floor' and 'Extracted'
--------------------------------------
Fox has signed on for more seasons of the Rob Lowe-hosted
game show "The Floor" and the survival competition series
"Extracted."

"Extracted" has been greenlit for a second season, while
"The Floor" has been renewed for Seasons 4 and 5.

According to the official series description, "'Extracted'
features 12 untrained competitors attempting to survive
extremely grueling conditions, perilous terrain, and the
threat of fearsome predators in the unforgiving Canadian
wilderness. Meanwhile, some miles away, their family
members are locked down at a secluded headquarters
watching them navigate their dangerous surroundings alone
via a 24/7 live feed. The fate of each untrained
contestant in the wilderness lies in the hands of their
family members back in HQ. Each amateur survivalist's
family has the power to decide whether their loved one has
what it takes to brave the elements and fight to be the
last one standing, or whether the family will push the
ominous "Extract" button and remove their loved one and
their whole family from the competition. Extracted begs
the question: how far will their loved ones let them go
for a chance for their family to win $250,000?"

"Extracted" is produced by B17 Entertainment (a part of
Sony Pictures Television) and Sylvester Stallone's Balboa
Productions. Executive producers include Rhett Bachner,
Brien Meagher, Stallone, Braden Aftergood, Kourosh Taj,
Rob Buchta and showrunner Lauren Taylor Harding.

The show first premiered back in February and wrapped its
first season in April. According to Fox, it had the
highest-rated unscripted series debut in roughly a year.

In each episode of "The Floor," "100 contestants will
stand their ground on a massive, interactive LED game
floor featuring 100 squares, each representing a different
trivia category. The first challenger, selected at random,
must choose one of his or her neighboring opponents to go
head-to-head in an epic quiz duel in the opponent's
category. The winner takes over the loser's square,
gaining valuable ground as they expand their territory,
while the loser exits the game. The winner must then
choose - do they go on the offensive to dominate more of
the board? Or do they let 'The Floor' choose a new
challenger? The contestant who gains full control over
'The Floor' takes home a life-changing grand prize of
$250,000," according to the show's logline.

Talpa owns "The Floor" format, and produces alongside
Eureka Productions and BiggerStage through their Talpa
Studios banner. Executive producers include John de Mol,
Maartin Meijs, Chris Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Wes Dening,
Jayne Parker, Pat Kiely, Sean O'Riordan and showrunner
Anthony Carbone. Host Lowe is a co-executive producer.

"The Floor" first premiered back in January 2024, and was
quickly picked up for a second and third season in May of
that same year. The Season 3 premiere of "The Floor" was
the most-watched unscripted entertainment telecast since
2023, according to Fox.
