First Look: TNT's New Action Reality Series The Great Escape

The Great Escape

The clock is ticking as a contestant attempts to escape from the USS Hornet aircraft carrier by rappelling over the side, in this brand new photo from TNT's upcoming reality series The Great Escape.

The Great Escape, which comes from the producers of CBS hit The Amazing Race, follows teams as they compete in challenges similar to scenes from action/adventure movies. Rich Eisen hosts the show, which premieres Sunday, June 24 at 10/9c, after a new episode of Falling Skies.

The Amazing Race producers Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri are also behind The Great Escape, along with Imagine TV and creators Justin Hochberg and Charlie Ebersol.
