Killer Camp is a British–American game show produced by Tuesday's Child Television. The series' first season aired on ITV2 as a Halloween Special 2019, on the five consecutive nights leading up to Halloween.[1] After licensing the first season in summer 2020, The CW commissioned a second season of the series in March 2021, resulting in it moving to the network as an original.[2]
The second season premiered on The CW on 10 October 2021, as a part of the network's fall 2021 schedule.[3] On 18 October 2021, the series was pulled from the network's schedule after two episodes (the network aired the remaining episodes during its summer lineup),[4][5] and was replaced by repeats of Masters of Illusion.[6]
Premise
The series revolves around eleven people who are dropped into an '80s inspired lakeside lodge where they learn it's not the Summer Camp they had envisioned, but a Killer Camp with a secret murderer among them.
The contestants are tasked with earning money whilst simultaneously decoding the killer's identity before they end up "dead" themselves.[7]
The contestant was in the bottom two, but was not eliminated.
The contestant earned or was given immunity, and was safe from elimination.
The contestant was eliminated.
^Note 1: Episodes 3 & 5 each featured a vote at the campfire, where the camper with the most votes would be killed - regardless of their affiliation. These episodes did not feature an Immunity Challenge.
^Note 2: Rob was revealed to be the killer as a result of being suspected in Episode 3's vote. A twist was revealed that Rob had been working in cahoots with a second killer the whole time.
Eleven British strangers get the shock of their lives when they discover that they are not going on a fun new reality show called Summer Camp, but actually a horror whodunit called Killer Camp. The contestants have to try and earn cash while avoiding being 'killed' and therefore eliminated from the game, all while spending five gruesome nights in an '80s themed US lodge.
