Dominica Builds on Media Hype

Dominica continues to live up to its tagline as the place to “Defy the Everyday,” this time as the location for CBS Television Network’s new reality-based series, “Pirate Master.”

“Pirate Master” is the next epic adventure reality series from Emmy Award-winning producer Mark Burnett, Executive Producer of the smash hit “Survivor” television series from CBS.

The show will send 16 modern-day pirates on a high seas adventure where they will live as buccaneers and scour Dominica for 33 days in search of hidden treasure that will total $1 million.

“We selected Dominica for its lush, pristine landscape with rugged mountain peaks, deep river gorges, towering waterfalls and accessible coastline – the ideal setting for a pirate adventure,” commented Lisa Hennessy, Executive Producer of Pirate Master. “Further, once we arrived on island, the people of Dominica greeted us so warmly and promptly saw to our every production need. We couldn’t be more pleased with the reception we received.”

“Pirate Master” will debut on Thursday, May 31 at 8:00pm (Eastern) on CBS. It is produced by Mark Burnett Productions.
