A new but somehow familiar reality show from the CW will premiere this Sunday on 6pm. In Harm's Way will take a closer look at individuals who perform life-threatening jobs “for the benefit of society.” For the first episode, for instance, it will focus on professional bull riders, while the second one will take a look at Coast Guard rescue units.
In Harm's Way will be hosted by former Survivor castaway Hunter Ellis. A former fighter pilot himself, Ellis will follow these people who risk their lives everyday while the rest of the population slave over relatively humdrum work. Ellis was the third person voted off Survivor: Marquesas way back in 2002. He is not in any way new to television hosting duties, presiding over The History Channel documentary called Tactical to Practical about innovations made for combat situations that eventually became practical for domestic use and Man, Moment, and Machine, also on The History Channel.

Not all former reality TV show contestants who seek to capitalize on their elusive fame fail. Though most end up fading into oblivion, some succeed. Hunter Ellis is one of those people. A former Survivor castaway, Ellis has been named the host of In Harm's Way, a new reality series from The CW that will air on Sundays starting this Fall. In Harm's Way follows those brave civilians who risk their lives every day while performing the world's most difficult jobs, such as coast guard divers and mine sweepers. Hunter, an ex-fighter pilot, is not new to television hosting duties. He presided over The History Channels Tactical to Practical (about innovations made for combat situations that eventually became practical for domestic use) as well the same channel's Man, Moment and Machine. In Harm's Way premieres on Sunday, September 21 in the 7pm time slot on The CW.
