Outlast: The Jungle, the third season of Netflix’s Outlast, drops 16 people in the Panamanian jungle for a shot at a $1 million prize. All each contestant needs to do is work with a team of strangers and outlast the competition.
The series premiered in March 2023, followed by season two in September 2024. Season three arrives on June 10, 2026 with the release of the first six episodes. The two remaining episodes will stream on June 17.
“This season felt like throwing gasoline on the format. We traded the frozen isolation of Alaska for the heat and volatility of Panama, and everything changed: the survival, the strategy, and the social dynamics,” stated executive producer and showrunner Mike Odair. “Having now seen two seasons of the game, these contestants arrived ready to test alliances and push the social experiment further than ever before, creating a season that feels more primal, unpredictable, and intense from the very start. And as a showrunner, cast is everything, and this may be our most dynamic group yet.”
Additional executive producers include Jason Bateman, Michael Costigan, Emma Ho, and Ryan O’Dowd. The series is produced by Aggregate Films and BBC Studios.

Netflix’s synopsis reads, “Sixteen strangers are dropped into the unforgiving Panamanian jungle and forced to survive in teams, where scarce resources, brutal conditions, and shifting alliances push them to their limits. With the constant threat of being cast out, survival becomes as much about strategy as endurance. In a game where no one can win alone, only those who hold their team together can outlast and claim the $1 million prize.”
