Eight former Naked and Afraid survivalists will put their skills to the test on season one of Naked and Afraid: Solo. The spinoff from Naked and Afraid will challenge the survivalists to spend 21 days naked, afraid, and completely on their own.
The eight Naked and Afraid fan favorites testing their skills in harsh environments include Kaila Cumings, a bladesmith and avid bowhunter who seeks redemption from a previous early tap-out in her XL Next Level challenge in the Amazon. Terra Short, a trans woman and archer who feels most at home in the wilderness with just their skills and a knife; Cheeny Plante, a jack-of-all-trades who, as a SERE instructor, has taught critical survival skills to Air Force combatants; and Jamie Frizzell, a no-nonsense lifeguard, adventurer and bushcraft instructor who survived a 21-day Tribes challenge but tapped on day two of XL Next Level in the Amazon are also featured in season one of Solo.
The first season also includes Naked and Afraid veterans Fernando Calderon, Suzanne Zeta, James Lewis, and Shanika Malcolm.
Naked and Afraid: Solo premieres on the Discovery Channel on Sunday, March 12, 2023.
Discovery offered this description of the new series:
“Naked and Afraid survivalists have endured the most grueling environments on earth and proved the value of teamwork in overcoming brutal conditions. In this all-new series, eight of the franchise’s most battle-tested survivalists will attempt to endure 21 days completely SOLO. This arced series takes place in some of the most remote and harshest environments in the world – and in locations spread out over three continents. Whether it’s a bug-infested South American rainforest, a frigid African scrubland or a blistering Mexican jungle, each episode follows multiple survivalists as they take on the most difficult challenge of their lives.
With no one to lean on for help, their success depends solely on their own ingenuity, skills and will to survive. Enduring 21 days naked with a partner is hard enough. Enduring 21 days solo will test the most experienced survivalists in the world – and bring many to their knees.”
