Plot Synopsis

OPPOSITE WORLDS is a one-hour competition reality series that pits two teams against each other, as the contestants try to avoid elimination while living in a house with a glass wall that separates them into two groups that live in distinctly different environments -- one side in the past and the other in a utopic future -- each with its own unique advantages and disadvantages. The 12 people from all walks of life are first separated into two groups: future and past. Then, as teams compete in a series of fast-paced challenges, viewers participate in real time on social media and affect the outcome by selecting which player should be The Decider, the contestant with the power to select two combatants for that week's Duel of Destiny. In the Duel of Destiny, the two selected players face off in a duel, with the losing contestant being sent home. Airing twice weekly, OPPOSITE WORLDS runs 12 episodes over six weeks (two episodes per week), with the second weekly episode featuring a live element, which is a first for a Syfy reality series.
