Get ready for more Naked and Afraid on Discovery. The Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing series will return for its second season next month, featuring the return of 14 all-stars from previous seasons of the reality competition franchise. Last One Standing premiered in May 2023 and was renewed ahead of the finale’s airing.
Discovery Channel revealed the identities of the second season’s competitors and more in a press release.
Extreme challenges, cutthroat competition, and explosive group dynamics that push even the most elite survivalists to their limits are just a few of the reasons that NAKED AND AFRAID: LAST ONE STANDING was Discovery Channel’s #1 series in 2023. Now it returns to the network on Sunday, July 14 at 8PM ET/PT with fourteen Naked and Afraid All-Stars testing their primitive survival skills in the punishing African bush for 45-days. The group, a mix of fan favorites and polarizing personalities, will risk everything for a chance to take home a coveted cash prize and be crowned the Last One Standing.
Competitors will arrive empty handed and must earn the tools they need to secure food, water, fire and shelter through grueling, multi-phase challenges. In an unexpected twist, a head-to-head challenge occurs on Day One, resulting in a double elimination before the survivalists even get to camp. The stakes are even higher in this season’s competition because survivalists will not be allowed to share any of their tools with fellow participants.
The vast expanse of Africa’s Munzwa Valley intensifies both the risks and rewards for contestants. In the harsh killing zone, survivalists must compete against lions, leopards and hyena to hunt the same large prey, including warthog, impala and kudu. As rhinos and baboons threaten to push the survivalists out of their territory, one camp is forced to abandon their shelter in the middle of the night.
The survivalists fighting both the wild and each other to become the next champion include:
