With the success that Blake Lively witnessed from the release of the 2024 romance/drama film, It Ends With Us, alongside co-star Justin Baldoni, it seems like the actress’ next project will be a rom-com. It was revealed that Lively will be a producer of Lionsgate’s upcoming film, The Survival List (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Therefore, along with cast details and possible release date, here’s all that we know so far about Lively’s next venture as a producer, as well as the female lead of the film.
What Is the Premise and Story of Blake Lively’s The Survival List
The Survival List is the next project that actress Blake Lively will be associated with as a lead star and a co-producer. This will also mark her next big project after she filed a lawsuit against Baldoni and his production company, alleging sexual harassment and a hostile work environment during the filming of It Ends With Us.
The film follows the tale of a reality TV producer named Annie, who is being placed on a survival TV project with an iconic expert named Chopper Lane. And when she agrees to be a part of it against her wishes, they find themselves stranded on an island after suffering a shipwreck (via Deadline).
And due to a dreadful revelation, the events that transpire are both comedic and endearing, especially when chemistry starts to form between them.

So far, it has been confirmed that Lively will play the role of Annie in the film, in addition to serving as a producer for the project alongside Marc Platt. Since the information about the film’s acquisition by Lionsgate was recent, there have been no new additions to the cast members for the film. It is also looking for a director to helm the film when it finally starts filming.
As for the production schedule, it’s being reported that the film may enter the initial stages of production and filming sometime next year. This means that if all goes smoothly, we can expect The Survival List to be released somewhere in 2027.
