First unveiled in May 2024, Battle Camp will premiere on April 23rd, 2025. The reality series sees contestants from across the Netflix Reality Universe compete for a grand prize of $250,000 in Mr Beast-like competition rounds.
In this game, a giant spinning wheel decides who stays and who goes. Players, split into three teams: the Wolves, the Bears, and the Eagles, must dominate intense physical and mental challenges to avoid elimination, endure brutal punishments, and stay in everyone’s good graces—because campmates vote, too.
Master all three, and the $250,000 prize (plus bragging rights at the next NRU happy hour) is theirs to win.
What shows will be represented in Battle Camp? A bunch. You’ll see contestants from Netflix’s dating shows, competition series, and even some documentary series vying for the grand prize.
Among the show’s contestants we spotted were a few from Perfect Match, like Georgia Hassarati, Louis Russell, Chase DeMoor, and Nick Uhlenhuth. The latter also featured in Netflix’s The Circle alongside Shubham Goel and Kyle Fuller. The Mole will be represented by Avori Strib and Antonio Castellanos, who are confirmed to be among the roster. The Ultimatum: Queer Love will also be there with Lexi Goldberg in addition to contestants from Squid Game: The Challenge, Selling the OC, Love is Blind, Too Hot To Handle, and Cheer all representing.

Production on the series commenced in early to mid-2024 in Mexico, with the United Kingdom production company Thames Fremantle producing. The series will consist of ten episodes, each lasting 60 minutes.
It will be another busy year for new reality TV on Netflix. The long-awaited Building the Band, which will feature the late Liam Payne, is due out this year alongside Million Dollar Secret and Sneaky Links: Dating After Dark. That’s in addition to renewed titles like Love is Blind renewed through to at least season 10, Selling the OC, Perfect Match, The Ultimatum: Queer Love and others all set to return. In the development pipeline, Netflix has confirmed there’s a US version of the Sidemen’s Inside coming up and casting recently underway for a new series called Blue Therapy.
Note: A previous iteration of this post said it would consist of nine episodes; that was incorrect.
