The Big Game (Seasons 1–2)

The Big Game (2020) is a Russian survival thriller series you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Karen Oganesyan. Sixteen strangers are flown deep into the Siberian taiga to compete on a brand-new reality show. The prize is one million euros. The terms: no food, no contact, no civilization for hundreds of kilometers.

The rule is simple — last one standing wins. At first it's just a punishing endurance format, but the production slips out of control fast, and the real stake stops being money and becomes staying alive. Hunger breaks one contestant, fear breaks another, and someone realizes a person behind the cameras is running a very different script. The cast includes Igor Vernik, Aleksandra Bortich, Aleksey Chadov and Nikita Kologrivy.

Shot on real Siberian locations, the cold, mud and exhaustion never feel staged. It pushes close to horror, watching how quickly the civilized veneer peels away when survival is on the line. Not for the faint of heart. Stream The Big Game online on iFILM.
