As previously reported, Forever Eden is the new FOX reality series that will attempt to break new ground in American television as the country's first open-ended, unscripted soap opera. Created by the producers of last summer's Paradise Hotel series and even described by one series producer as "Paradise Hotel, Version 2.0," Eden's guests live together in a luxurious, tropical-resort setting and aim to stay on the show for weeks, months and possibly even years -- and the longer they stay, the more money they earn.
Similar to Paradise Hotel, each week a guest will be eliminated and replaced by someone new, who arrives armed with the knowledge of having viewed the series from home. Additionally, as in Paradise, numerous surprises and twists will be around every corner, making waves in what the guests thought would be peaceful waters.
Forever Eden premieres Monday, March 1 and Tuesday, March 2 (9-10 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
The first eleven guests willing to experience this opportunity of a lifetime are listed below. Additionally, full photos of all contestants are available in our Forever Eden photo gallery.
