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.
The trailer for the season premiere shows the contestants facing unimaginable struggles as they visit six different terrains in 40 days. One of the survivalists is heard saying, “It is absolutely soul-breaking.” The trailer also gives a glimpse of the medics being called to a scene, leaving the audience with the promise of “hell,” “pain,” and “torment.”
Season 10 of Naked and Afraid XL is set to premiere on Sunday, May 12 at 8 PM ET/PT on Discovery Channel. The new installment will later be available to stream on Discovery Plus.
