The show, which is slated to air in April on the short-form streaming service Quibi, follows the star as he goes deep into the jungles of a remote, dangerous island to carve his own name in expedition history, according to Deadline . The publication says Efron will be off the grid for 21 days with nothing but basic gear, a guide partner and a will to survive.

Luckily, it seems Efron has finished filming the show.
