Stars on Mars is an American reality competition series that premiered on Fox on June 5, 2023.

Format

Stars on Mars features celebrities living together in a base camp designed to simulate living on Mars (actually located in Coober Pedy, Australia).[1] [2] [3] Each cycle, the group elects one celebrity as "Base Commander" who assigns tasks to complete around the compound and oversees an upcoming mission. The Base Commander then selects another celebrity to be "Mission Specialist", who helps oversee the mission and becomes immune from elimination.[4]

In each episode's mission, the group must collectively work to complete a space-themed task while being directed by the Base Commander and Mission Specialist. After each mission, the Mission Specialist and Base Commander must designate three celebrities as the "least mission critical", making them vulnerable for elimination. Afterwards, the group must come to a decision of which of these to eliminate (or "extract" from Mars).[4]
