The Snake is an American reality competition series that premiered on Fox on June 10, 2025. The show is hosted by Jim Jefferies.
The contestants compete in challenges based around manipulation, persuasion, and deception; whoever wins the challenge receives a snake medallion and the title of "the Snake". Each episode concludes with an elimination process known as the "Saving Ceremony": the Snake nominates the first contestant to be declared safe. In turn, the contestant nominates the next contestant to be saved, with this cycle continuing until only two contestants remain. At this point, the Snake selects the final contestant to be saved, with the remaining contestant being eliminated.
On April 22, 2025, it was announced that Fox had ordered the series, with Jim Jefferies as the host. On April 24, it was announced that the series would premiere on June 10. On May 15, the contestants were announced.
