This is going to be SO good.

The first look at the new season of Shipwrecked is here – and it looks like it is going to be more explosive than ever.

The show – which first ran as a social experiment – originally launched in 2000, running for three seasons before it went off air in 2001.

It returned to television screens in 2006, with a new “battle of the islands” format. It ran for a total of eight series, with the final one airing on E4 in 2012.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that the show was going to be coming back again with a revamp for 2019.

A TV insider told The Sun at the time that the decision was made due to the mammoth success of Love Island. 

Now, the first look at the new season of the classic noughties show is here – as well as the first details about what fans can expect.

The new series of Shipwrecked will see a batch of adventurous young castaways competing in the ultimate popularity contest on two uninhabited paradise islands in the South Pacific.

The two tribes – Sharks and Tigers – will battle it out to win over new arrivals to their respective islands, with a £50k prize fund at stake for the largest tribe at the end of the competition.
