Killer Camp is a British-American game show produced by Tuesday's Child Television. The series' first season aired on ITV2 as a Halloween Special 2019, on the five consecutive nights leading up to Halloween. [1] After licensing the first season in summer 2020, The CW commissioned a second season of the series in March 2021, resulting in it moving to the network as an original. [2]

Contents

The second season premiered on The CW on 10 October 2021, as a part of the network's fall 2021 schedule. [3] On 18 October 2021, the series was pulled from the network's schedule after two episodes (the network aired the remaining episodes during its summer lineup), [4] [5] and was replaced by repeats of Masters of Illusion . [6]

Premise

The series revolves around eleven people who are dropped into an '80s inspired lakeside lodge where they learn it's not the Summer Camp they had envisioned, but a Killer Camp with a secret murderer among them.

The contestants are tasked with earning money whilst simultaneously decoding the killer's identity before they end up "dead" themselves. [7]

Eleven British strangers get the shock of their lives when they discover that they are not going on a fun new reality show called Summer Camp, but actually a horror whodunit called Killer Camp.

22"One in the Eye for the Killer"Mike Parker28 October 2019 (2019-10-28)
The campmates try to recover from the previous night's shocking killing as their suspicions see bromances broken, alliances forged and a relationship blossom.

Suspicions drive the campmates apart as they try to deduce who was behind previous night's murder, while being thrown into freezing lakes, retrieving buoys for cash and playing a horribly awkward game that sees their true opinions about each other shared out loud. The campfire brings another shocking twist as the camp votes for who they think the killer is for the first time before another victim is brutally claimed.
44"A Killer Twist"Mike Parker30 October 2019 (2019-10-30)
The campers face more fiendish camp activities, including blindly putting their hands inside terrifying boxes for cash, and smacking each other with soaking dodgeballs. During the penultimate campfire, the killer claims their final victim in a jaw-dropping murder.
55"A Killer Finale"Mike Parker31 October 2019 (2019-10-31)
Events come to a head as two campers clash about the clues they have received and make a final play to convince fellow campers of their innocence. The campmates also vote one last time to guess the killer's identity.
