Adventure TV Shows

Adventure is the genre of forward motion. Whether the destination is a remote island, a distant galaxy, or the next pit stop, these shows are built around journeys — and around the friction, wonder, and occasional disaster that comes from leaving home behind.

Television does adventure in wildly different registers, and this page holds them all. The Amazing Race has sent teams sprinting across continents for over twenty years, Survivor strips the journey down to a beach and a social experiment, and Star Trek: Enterprise takes exploration off-planet entirely. The list is ordered by our quality score — a measure that favors series with lasting acclaim — while the recently premiered section catches fresh expeditions as they begin.
