Watch Survivor UK: Synopsis

After 21 long years and countless versions around the globe, Survivor UK has finally returned 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, worldwide TV channels and what days it will broadcast.

With the US version of Survivor recently getting its 45th season, 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 is actually in the Caribbean tropics of the Dominican Republic for a series of physical and cerebral challenges to find out who will be crowned Sole Survivor. Joel Dommett is on hosting duties for the ultimate physical and psychological game.

It's been a gruelling month on the island, but five grizzled contestants have made it to the final – set to be shown over two parts on Saturday, December 16 in the UK.

Part one will see a 14th participant being eliminated, before the final four battle it out for the cash in part two. Following the last immunity challenge, a further islander will leave and join the jury. And then it's up to the three last survivors to plead their case to the jurors, with one finally being crowned the series winner.

Ready to see Survivor's return to UK screens will end? 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.

Survivor UK made its long-awaited return to UK screens on Saturday, October 28. New episodes go out on Saturday and Sunday evenings on the free-to-air BBC One in the UK.

Broadcast times vary from week-to-week, but the final is a two-parter being broadcast on BBC One on Saturday, December 16 at 6pm and 9.05pm GMT.

There will be 16 episodes in total and you'll be able to stream every episode through BBC iPlayer after broadcast, which you can access on desktop and through a number of devices via its app.

It's free to sign-up for a BBC account. All you need is an email address, a UK postcode (e.g. W12 7RJ) and a valid TV licence.

Away from the UK? Use a VPN using the instructions below to access BBC iPlayer like you would at home

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.

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.

How To Use A VPN To Unblock Streaming Services:

1. Choose your ideal VPN and install - as we say, ExpressVPN is the total package when it comes to great streaming VPNs

2. Connect to a server - most good VPNs make it super simple to connect to a server in the UK or whatever country you require

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