About Kid Nation
Kid Nation was an American reality television show hosted by Jonathan Karsh that premiered on the CBS network on September 19, 2007 created by Tom Forman Productions and Endemol USA and aired on Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET . The show, featuring 40 children aged 8 to 15, was filmed on location at the Bonanza Creek Movie Ranch, a privately owned town built on the ruins of Bonanza City, New Mexico, eight miles south of Santa Fe, with production beginning on April 1, 2007. In the show, the children try to create a functioning society in the town, including setting up a government system with minimal adult help and supervision.
Directed by Tom Forman, Kid Nation leans on a strong ensemble — Laurel McGoff, Jonathan Karsh, Daniel Kyri — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about reality titles of 2007.
