More details about Naked and Afraid XL and where you can watch

In Naked and Afraid XL, experienced survivalists often returnees from past Naked and Afraid challenges take on a brutal 40-day wilderness test significantly longer than the original 21-day format. Locations have included remote jungles, rainforests, badlands, and freezing mountain regions, exposing contestants to venomous snakes, predators, disease-carrying insects, and severe weather while having to find food, water, and shelter completely on their own. With no clothes or outside help except medical emergencies, participants rely on primitive survival skills, teamwork, and strategy to endure. The extended timeline often forces tough choices, physical breakdowns, and psychological pressure that exposes both resilience and conflict. The series celebrates survivalism at its most extreme while creating dramatic, unpredictable stories of endurance and human limits.
