Naked and Afraid XL has officially confirmed its return for Season 10, promising an even more grueling survival challenge for its contestants. The show, which premieres on May 12, 2024, will feature a new group of elite survivalists battling extreme conditions and dangerous wildlife in the Colombian wilderness.
The upcoming season will see returning favorites like Lynsey McCarver and Sam Mouzer, alongside 10 other experienced survivalists, as they take on the 40-day challenge. The contestants have all completed the 21-day Naked and Afraid challenge and are now gearing up for the longest and most demanding test of their survival skills yet.
According to the official description, the contestants will face harrowing conditions, including triple-digit temperatures, electrical storms, and a menagerie of deadly creatures. They will also have to trek 40 miles across six unique terrains to reach the end of the challenge. “Not only will they endure blood-sucking mosquitoes, 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,” the description reads.
