Netflix confirms future of controversial competition series after fans slammed ‘sickening’ scenes
NETFLIX has confirmed the future of a divisive competition series after fans previously slammed it for “sickening’ scenes”.
The gruelling reality show sees a group of people trying to survive the outdoors in a bid to create shelter and, ultimately, survive.
Viewers previously slammed the show for airing “sickening scenes”
The eight-episode series has seen one group of survivalists in particular called into question after their behaviour displayed on the show.
Now Netflix has confirmed that Outlast will return for a second season.
The premiere date for Season 2 of the popular competition programme will be announced later.
Outlast’s first season premiered on Netflix’s weekly Global Top 10 TV UK list at #6 and made it to the Top 10 TV in 27 different countries.
In the last episode, Jill Ashlock’s team infuriated viewers after stealing sleeping bags despite the conditions everyone had to live in.
Team Alpha, which includes Jill, Justin Court, and Amber Asay, stole the sleeping bags in a shock move and led Netflix viewers to question why production “sat back and let it happen.”
At the time, the temperate in Alaska had dropped to subfreezing temperatures.
Fans were in uproar social media, as one person wrote: “Jill is a disgusting & disgraceful excuse for a human being. She has ruined this show.”
Another person penned: “That was evil, and shame on Netlix for allowing it. The producers saw it in tape and let it play out. Disgusting really.”
A third said: “This is not entertainment, this is absolutely disgusting behaviour. Boycott this show now.”
