Telly’s Take

Through its ninth episode in season three, Running Wild with Bear Grylls is up over its season two numbers. The show racked up stronger ratings, despite two hiatuses. The third season first went off the air between September 12th of 2016 and May 22nd 2017. After airing just two new episodes, it then took a break between May 25th and September 16th, when it finally closes out the season. Because it performs pretty nimbly, despite unreliable scheduling, I think NBC is more likely to renew Running Wild with Bear Grylls for season four, than it is to cancel it. Still, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments. Subscribe for free updates on any Running Wild with Bear Grylls cancellation or renewal news.
