Discovery Channel’s set a February 15, 2026 premiere date for season 19 of the survival series, Naked and Afraid. New episodes will air on Sundays at 8pm ET/PT.
The new season, which Discovery describes as the most raw and adrenaline-charged to date, will find the survivalists paired up and dropped into five brutal locations. The season’s first expanded episode brings back Matt Wright, who’ll join a past Naked and Afraid participant seeking redemption and a newcomer to the franchise in the Florida Everglades.
Season 19 also features a franchise first involving survivalists Ky Furneaux and Dan Link. Per Discovery Channel: “Ky Furneaux and Dan Link face 14 days on a remote island without any tools of any kind—no firestarter, pot, or blade—in the most extreme test of human survival. Another groundbreaking challenge brings together a group of five fearless social media influencers to prove if their online personas can withstand the raw, primal reality of mother nature.”
The popular survival franchise has expanded to include Naked and Afraid Alone, Apocalypse, Castaways, Last One Standing, and Frozen.
