The Snake

Befriend. Betray. Or Be Gone. FOX’s all-new, wholly owned “social survival of the fittest” competition series, The Snake, hosted by comedian Jim Jefferies, is an unmatched battle of plotting, scheming and strategy. The Snake assembles 15 masters of manipulation from various persuasive professions with unique skill sets to compete in an outrageous array of challenges and twists – all of which help contestants slither toward becoming that week's Snake, the most powerful position in the game and ultimate decider of who stays and who goes. The Snake is social survival of the fittest, where each contestant must leverage their unique skills, training and powers of persuasion as they face a multitude of challenges designed to showcase the traits needed to be successful in the game. The winner of each challenge becomes The Snake, earning control of The Saving Ceremony, an explosive, chain reaction elimination where it’s not about who wants you gone, but who is willing to save you. The Snake doesn’t just hinge on winning challenges – it’s about winning people over. The social aspect of the game never stops – connections are everything, whether you’re making friends, faking friends or sparking romantic connections. Promises are put to the test during the Saving Ceremony, as players do everything in their power to avoid being picked last by The Snake, hoping to escape elimination. Every week is a fresh start with a new gauntlet and a new Snake. In the end, only one contestant will get within striking distance of the $100,000 grand prize. The Snake is wholly owned by FOX Entertainment and produced by 495 Productions. SallyAnn Salsano (Jersey Shore, Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer) serves as executive producer and showrunner. Frank Miccolis and Kim Green also serve as executive producers.
