Siberia is a scripted TV show stylized to be a RealityTV show about 16 individuals sent to survive in the wilderness of Siberia with no help, no supervision and no rules. After the first couple of days, though, an incident leads to a death. There is a debate on whether to continue the show or not, rather than just shutting down the competition right away, and things suddenly get stranger.

!!This show include examples of:
* AnyoneCanDie: In the first episode, something happens that kills one of the players. One of the cameramen were even injured.
* RealityTV: Designed to appear as one, right down to ConfessionCam moments.
