Discovery Channel’s set a February 18, 2024 premiere date for Naked and Afraid season 17. The trailer for the upcoming season shows survivalists coming face to face with hippos, a lion, and crocodiles as they attempt to survive the elements – and their partners – in primitive conditions.
New season 17 episodes will air on Sundays at 8pm ET/PT.
Discovery Channel offered this description of the upcoming season:
“Throughout the series, the participants must overcome their personal struggles and face the raw brutality of nature without easy access to food, water, or clothing. In the premiere episode, a hunter and a farmer pool their knowledge as they attempt to survive 21 days in South Africa. But when the wildlife proves too stealthy to hunt, the survivalists take a life-threatening risk for food.
Later this season, two veteran fan-favorite survivalists return to mentor two newcomers in an all-women tribe’s challenge in Colombia; a pair of Naked and Afraid critics use their armchair survival knowledge to attempt to make it through a 14-day fan challenge; and a survivalist must cope with menstruation in the middle of the African bush. Scarce food resources and mosquito-infested tropics are just the beginning of what lies ahead for these survivalists.”
