NAKED AND AFRAID (DISCOVERY) BROADCAST HISTORY: 6/23/13 - ??? STATUS: on hiatus or fate to be determined TIME SLOT: completed airing its current season CURRENT SEASON: 12 (11 episodes) VISIT THE OFFICIAL WEB SITE Missed an episode? Been wanting to catch up? This series is also available on: ADDITIONAL NOTES: completed airing its 12th season on 4/18/21; has yet to be renewed for a 13th season DESCRIPTION: (from Discovery Channel's press release, March 2021) While the world has gone into extended lockdown, adventure-seekers from across the world are taking on a true survival challenge where everything that is familiar - home, clothes, and ease of everyday life - is completely stripped away. From the bug-infested rainforests of Ecuador and the frigid peaks of the Colorado Rockies, to the apex predator hunting grounds of Namibia and the scorching desert of the US/Mexico border, this season of NAKED AND AFRAID sees survivalists who would rather take on some of the world's most dangerous environments than stay "safer at home." In each location, these survivalists must endure hostile climates, lurking predators, and a scarce food and water supply while undergoing the ultimate test of human endurance and willpower unlike anything they've experienced before. They come with nothing and give it everything -- and do it all while completely naked.
