WASHINGTON — A local family is about to trade the comforts of Daviess County for the unforgiving terrain of the Canadian wilderness.
Kevin and Anna Kroeger, along with their son Olsen, will represent Washington, Indiana, on the national stage tonight as they debut on the new Fox reality series, Extracted. The high-stakes survival competition premieres tonight, January 26th at 8:00 p.m. EST.
Executive produced by action legend Sylvester Stallone, Extracted isn’t your typical reality show. The series drops ordinary families into remote, rugged environments with minimal supplies. Their mission is simple but grueling: navigate through treacherous terrain to reach an “extraction point” before time runs out.
The Kroegers will face a variety of challenges designed to test their physical endurance, mental fortitude, and family bond:
- Extreme Weather: Filmed in the dense forests and mountains of Canada, the family must contend with freezing temperatures and unpredictable precipitation.
- Resource Management: Participants must build their own shelters and forage for food while carrying all their essential gear.
- The “Stallone” Factor: True to the producer’s reputation for grit, the show emphasizes “no-nonsense” survival, focusing on the raw dynamics of a family under pressure.
The Kroegers are well-known in the Washington community, and local watch parties are expected across town tonight. Friends and neighbors have described the family as outdoorsy and resilient, traits that will be essential as they face the “Wild North.”
“We’ve always been a close-knit family, but this took things to a level we never imagined,” Kevin Kroeger mentioned in a promotional clip for the show.
