Discovery Channel’s unscripted survival series Naked and Afraid returns for a 15th season on February 19, 2023. The new season promises higher stakes and a surprising twist that finds two Naked and Afraid medics stepping in front of the camera and taking part in the challenge.
The naked survivalists will attempt to find food, water, and shelter in such inhospitable climates as the jungles of Guyana and Devil’s Canyon in Mexico.
The teaser trailer for the new season shows the contestants are absolutely miserable. One admits that what looked like paradise turned out to be hell, while another believes the jungle’s trying to kill her. One survivalist even points out that everything in the area is named after the Devil, adding, “Not today, Satan.”
Discovery offered this description of the crazy new season:
“To kick-off a season packed with franchise firsts, two survivalists from overseas fight to become the first foreigners to endure 21 days on U.S. soil in America’s Wild West. Others will use their time in the wilderness to seek redemption for past failures. Four survivalists who tapped out in previous challenges – and have deep regrets about their fateful decisions – seize their last chance to prove their resolve and triumph as a tribe. These survivalists have no idea what they are in for.
This season, survivalists get down and dirty for grueling challenges that are as raw as the third degree burns on their feet. No one can imagine the brutal journey that they are about to embark on. From a battle-tested MMA fighter to a professional backpacker, even the toughest will be knocked down and forced to put their ultimate survival skills to the test. Pushed way beyond their comfort zones, survivalists quickly go from pumped to punished by unrelenting insects, unpredictable temperatures and unfamiliar terrain.”
New episodes will arrive on Sundays at 8pm ET/PT on Discovery Channel. Episodes will be added to discovery+ the same day as their Discovery Channel premiere.
Naked and Afraid is a Renegade 83 production for Discovery Channel.
