CBS announces details of a new celebrity competition show called Beyond The Edge.

CBS has announced details of a new celebrity competition series in the vein of Survivor called Beyond The Edge.

In the show, which was filmed in Panama last autumn, nine famous faces must live in the jungle and compete in challenges to win money for their chosen charities.

There are no eliminations or vote-offs during the course of the show, although the celebrities are free to leave at any time and can ring a bell to signal that they wish to go home.

Among those taking part are The Bachelor's Colton Underwood, Full House actress Jodie Sweetin, Super Bowl MVP Ray Lewis and Eboni K Williams of The Real Housewives of New York City.

"Beyond the Edge is the most extreme celebrity format ever attempted," said exec producer Greg Goldman.

"The day before we started principal photography, all of the producers looked at each other with the sinking feeling that this celebrity cast might see where they were living for up to two weeks – the harsh jungles of Panama – and just bolt.

"To the contrary, we were amazed by how these icons pushed themselves to their breaking points, showing incredible mental fortitude and physical tenacity. And all for an incredible cause: to raise money for charities that are near and dear to their hearts."

Beyond The Edge begins on March 16 on CBS.
