Star Trek star <keyword id="238149" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="william-shatner" source="Orion">William Shatner</keyword>, who recently became the oldest man sent to space, will be serving as <keyword id="1863159" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="mission-control" source="Orion">Mission Control</keyword> in the upcoming competition series 'Stars on Mars'. The series will see a group of celebrities prepare for take-off for the red planet, where they will live, eat, sleep, strategise, and bond with each other in the same space station, reports Deadline. During their stay, they will be faced with authentic conditions that simulate life on Mars, and they must use their brains and brawn - or maybe just their stellar social skills - to outlast the competition and claim the title of brightest star in the galaxy. The celebrities will compete in missions and will vote to eliminate one of their crewmates each week, sending them back to Earth. The series will premiere on <keyword id="17242" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="fox" source="Orion">Fox</keyword> from June 5. Stars on Mars is produced by Holey Moley producer Eureka Productions, whose Chris <keyword id="17116664" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="culvenor" source="Orion">Culvenor</keyword> created the format. Culvenor, Paul Franklin, Wes Dening and Eden Gaha will exec produce alongside Charles Wachter, who also serves as showrunner. Eureka owner Fremantle holds international distribution rights to the format. "The moment I heard the pitch for Stars on Mars, I knew a show this bold, this big and this outlandish simply belonged on Fox," said Allison Wallach, President of Unscripted Programming, Fox Entertainment. "Watching celebrities take giant leaps out of their comfort zone and step into the unexpected will no doubt be truly transformational and comical. Throughout, we will learn a lot about these stars, and when you factor in William <keyword id="5862069" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="shatner" source="Orion">Shatner</keyword> leading the charge from Mission Control, we have the makings of a show that's ready for blast off." "Good news for our celebronauts from Mission Control," added Shatner. "Thanks to lower gravity on Mars, you'll weigh 62 per cent less. Bad news: the air is unbreathable, so if you're from LA, it'll remind you of home."

The mission: Find one match worthy of a second date." Critics love the show's fresh take on the dating show formula. <a href="https://www.vulture.com/2019/02/dating-around-netflix-review.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vulture's Kathryn VanArendonk wrote</a> that the show takes a little while to hook you, but once it does, it's "deceptively appealing."

"This was really just an honest snapshot of what that experience is like. It can be fun. It can be awkward. It can be interesting. It can sort of change who you are."<a href="https://www.bustle.com/p/the-dating-around-cast-will-make-anyone-who-feels-left-out-of-other-dating-shows-feel-seen-15949187" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bustle</a> called it a "totally different format" than a traditional dating show. Bustle's Taylor Maple wrote that the show "doesn't foster a competitive environment, even though the premise encourages the cast to choose only one person to reconnect with later on.""It's an interesting, fresh take on the genre - one that allows viewers to be a fly on the wall for what, for all intents and purposes, seems like real, genuine dates," Maple added.The show has elicited other critic reactions ranging from "the trash you need this Valentine's Day" at <a href="https://mashable.com/article/netflix-dating-around-review/#AjOEeIdWYgqt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mashable</a>, to "the new Netflix reality show you'll love to hate" at <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/feb/11/dating-around-netflix-reality-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Guardian</a>. But the consensus seems to be that it's a worthwhile, addicting watch. And at six, half-hour episodes, it's a breeze to binge.Netflix has escalated its unscripted content recently with shows like "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo," the "Queer Eye" reboot, "The Great British Baking Show," "Amazing Interiors," and cooking competition, "Nailed It!"Netflix released up to 50 reality and talks programs in 2018 with plans for more this year, according to <a href="https://www.vulture.com/2018/06/netflix-reality-television-roadshow.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vulture</a>. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/babies-cry-movies-tv-hollywood-baby-wrangler-kids-2019-1">Here's how they make babies cry in TV and movies</a></h3> <div> </div> </div>
