This summer, 12 celebrities are going where no star has gone before: Mars. Or “Mars.” That’s the premise of Fox’s upcoming unscripted series, “Stars on Mars.” The competition show will premiere on the network Monday, June 5 at 8/7c p.m.

The latest installment in Fox’s lineup of wild reality programming will follow a dozen celebrities as they try to colonize Mars. Contestants will include everyone from professional athletes and reality TV staples to entrepreneurs, musicians and TV and film actors. Once on “Mars,” these newly minted astronauts will be assigned missions by the one celebrity who’s perfect for this interstellar job: “Star Trek” icon William Shatner.

“Stars on Mars” contestants will be forced to live, eat, sleep and strategize with each other all aboard the same space station. All the while, they will have to endure conditions designed to simulate life on Mars. After the completion of each mission, the celebrity crew members will vote to eliminate one of their own each week, so prepare for some alliances and betrayals. Only one will claim the title of “brightest star in the galaxy.” But who will it be?
