Each of the famous contestants will partner with Grylls for two days for a one-on-one adventure. This season the series will take viewers from the jungles of Panama to the far reaches of the Italian Alps and then to the Colorado Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Red Rocks of Utah. The cast members will tackle everything from skydiving to repelling as they travel through some of the world’s most unforgiving wildernesses.
“It has been such a privilege to adventure alongside these iconic men and women — and this season has made for some unforgettable journeys,” Grylls said. “The excitement of being dropped into uncharted territory and tackling the wilderness head-on, in the way we do, can be both daunting and very draining, but it is also very empowering when we finally make it out in one piece.”
