12 survivalists who’ve completed the 21-day Naked and Afraid challenge are putting their skills to the test again during Naked and Afraid XL‘s 40-day survival challenge. The new season, shot in Colombia, will premiere on Discovery Channel on May 12, 2024 at 8pm ET/PT. New episodes will air on Sundays.
Discovery released this description of the upcoming season: “This season, the survivalists will take on Naked and Afraid XL’s Proving Grounds and test their mettle by taking on the most extreme challenge, with an unexpected twist. Not only will they endure blood-sucking mosquitos, ants and ticks, disease-carrying parasites, as well as stalking jaguars and a territorial six-foot caiman, but they must now also trek 40 miles across six unique terrains to reach the end of the challenge.
Scorching triple-digit temperatures and violent electrical storms that dump up to six inches of rain in a single night will push them to their limits as they strive to become the next wave of Naked and Afraid legends.”
