Survivor host Jeff Probst has created a reality show for CBS called Live Like You’re Dying. Yep, it’s pretty much like it sounds: it’s a reality show about people with terminal illnesses. 

Each show will feature a person who has been given a finite time to live, and they will use their time on the show to live the rest of their lives to the fullest. According to EW.com:

 That adventure will include reunions with lost friends or formerly feuding family members, a “legacy moment” that will ensure their name carries on forever, and living out a personal dream. “It could be playing guitar with Eric Clapton or jumping out of a plane into a volcano,” Probst explained to EW.com. “Whatever it is that you’re still desiring to do in your life — we want to make it happen.”

Probst says that the purpose of the show is to show people how to get the most out of their lives, and to be inspired. Production on the show will begin in January, and the show has no scheduled airdate as of this writing.
