I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! (often referred to as I'm a Celebrity) is an American reality television series based on the British television show of the same name, in which celebrities live in jungle conditions with few comforts.

History The series, broadcast on ITV since August 2002, is produced by ITV Studios (previously known as Granada Productions), a British company. The format was picked up by ABC soon after, which aired for one season in early 2003. The new series, shown on NBC in 2009, ran for 14 episodes, and followed the same format as the British version of the same show but was this time filmed in the mountainous area of Las Horquetas in Sarapiquí, Costa Rica. On March 8, 2010, NBC announced that there would not be a third season.

Revival series On October 21, 2021, it was reported that ITV Studios subsidiary ITV America was pitching a reboot of the series under the title Celebrity Castle, with Blumhouse Productions—a studio known for its production of horror films—as co-producer. The pitch was reported to have been influenced by series 20 of the British version, which moved from Australia to Gwrych Castle in Wales due to COVID-19 travel restrictions. In 2023, it was revealed that plans for the proposed spin-off had not progressed beyond the pitching phase with ITV Studios now prioritising efforts into obtaining a new commission for the original jungle format.

In September 2026, it was announced that NBCUniversal's streaming service Peacock had ordered a reboot of the US version. Now titled Get Me Out of Here, it will be hosted by Maura Higgins and Rob Rausch, and is slated to premiere in 2027. In a change to previous seasons, the reboot will feature celebrities paired with a non-famous friend or family member. The winning team will receive a $100,000 grand prize.
