How to watch a sneak peek of new series ‘The Summit’ tonight (9/29/24) with a FREE live stream

CBS tonight will air a sneak peek of a new series, "The Summit."

On the show, the network said, 16 "ordinary Americans embark on a once-in-a-lifetime journey through the treacherous New Zealand Alps in an attempt to reach the peak of a towering mountain in just 14 days in order to keep their share of the $1 million prize they're carrying in their backpacks."

"The Summit" airs at 9 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 29, 2024, on CBS.

LIVE STREAM: Fans can watch CBS without cable on fuboTV (free trial), DirecTV Stream (free trial) and Paramount+ (free trial).

On the sneak peek episode, CBS said, "After a medical emergency occurs just hours into the trek and the climbers face a perilous obstacle crossing a ravine, fears rise as the Mountain's Keeper, who is tracking them along their journey, forces the group to make their first brutal moral decision ..."

Host is Manu Bennett.

The show will move to its regular time slot, 9:30 to 11 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9, airing after "Survivor."

CBS describes "The Summit" - "These 16 strangers – from a Trader Joe's employee and mother of two, to a 29-year-old trauma nurse, to a 33-year-old Air Force service member – are truly stepping into the unknown, as they did not know what they were signing up for and many of them have no previous climbing or camping experience.

"The result is a test of their character, both physical and mental, in ways they never imagined possible, as they attempt to reach the peak of a distant, towering mountain.

"With their backpacks containing an equal share of $1 million, the group must traverse an exhausting distance in just 14 days in order to win the cash they are carrying.

"But not everyone will make it, as these strangers must work together to tackle the dangerous terrain, unforgiving Antarctic winds, heart-pounding challenges and gut-wrenching eliminations on their way to the peak.

"Tracking them along this journey is the 'Mountain's Keeper' who will surprise the trekkers with brutal twists and force decisions that complicate an already grueling ascent. Morals and relationships will be tested when they must decide what to do if someone falls behind, because if the group fails to reach 'The Summit' in time, all the prize money will be lost."
