While most survival shows feature just one or two extreme environments, The Wheel demands that participants conquer eight distinctly grueling landscapes across the world, each requiring a completely different set of survival skills. With each turn of the Wheel, survivalists must tackle the planet's most unforgiving terrains – including freezing tundra, parched deserts, rugged mountains and steamy jungles – one immediately after another, with little time to prepare what few tools and materials they have.The participants are completely at the Wheel's mercy, as its every rotation thrusts them into a new harrowing domain without warning. When and how quickly will the Wheel turn? That's for the viewers to know…and for the survivalists to agonize and obsess over. When a survivalist breaks down and taps out, the Wheel keeps on turning until only one is left standing. But can anyone survive The Wheel?
