Peacock has ordered a U.S. version of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, with Maura Higgins and Rob Rausch set to host, according to Deadline’s report.
The competition format is a long-running British hit, and Deadline describes Peacock’s project as a reboot and another effort to establish the show in the U.S. Higgins and Rausch, both identified as The Traitors breakouts, will front the new adaptation.
No premiere date, cast, production timetable or episode details were reported. It is also unclear whether this iteration will differ from prior U.S. attempts.
Impact assessment
For Higgins and Rausch, the order represents a new TV-hosting assignment attached to a Peacock competition-series launch. For Peacock, it adds an established British format to its slate, while placing the streamer’s new adaptation under pressure to find a U.S. audience.
Scenarios
Most likely: If the reported order remains in place and production proceeds without a hosting change, Peacock moves forward with Higgins and Rausch as hosts. A production announcement, premiere window or further series details would support that outcome.
Upside: When Peacock expands the project into a broader launch rollout, it could announce casting, scheduling or promotional material.
Downside: Unless development progresses as expected, the rollout could be delayed or the format and hosting plans could change before launch.
