MIAMI – September 9, 2025 – Telemundo’s La Isla: Desafío Extremo returns with its most exhilarating and intense new season ever, premiering Tuesday, October 7 at 7pm/6c. In this unprecedented adventure, 18 contenders will leave everything behind to take on the ultimate survival challenge, completely disconnected from the outside world and battling an unpredictable tropical climate.
Hosted by Héctor Suárez Gomís, the season kicks off with six celebrities who, for the first time, will face challenges unlike anything they have experienced before. Joining them are six reality TV stars and six contestants from diverse nationalities and backgrounds, each bringing compelling stories and fierce determination.
