Now, the challenge is stepping up the game, bringing the best of the best to the most isolated locations around the world, leaving them there with nothing on their backs and no one by their side.

With no help of any kind, the essential tasks of getting food, water, and shelter become even more demanding with no partner or tribe. Mental toughness will also play a key role in making it through the 21 day challenge alone.

Follow Naked and Afraid veteran survivalists, including Luke McLaughlin (North Carolina), Gary Golding (California), Lacey Jones (Illinois), and Max Djenohan (Washington) take on the Alone challenge with a solo performance rating based on their previous experiences. Together, these battle-tested survivalists have spent nearly 500 days stripped down in the wild, but will their mental toughness carry them to the finish or will their psyches crack and send them over the edge?

Naked and Afraid: Alone Premieres Sunday, January 5 at 10pm ET/PT.

Viewers can also catch up on all episodes of NAKED AND AFRAID and NAKED AND AFRAID XL on Discovery Go and Discovery.com.
