Naked and Afraid XL Has Frozen Over

By: Discovery

As the temperatures drop off, so do the clothes. Naked and Afraid XL: Frozen launches out of Shark Week on July 31 on Discovery and discovery+.

July 06, 2022

While summer is heating up in the Northern Hemisphere, a select few have chosen a more chilling adventure. In the frigid Rocky Mountains, sub-freezing temperatures, hypothermia, and frostbite are only a few of the immediate dangers at hand as 12 NAKED AND AFRAID XL All-Stars attempt to last 14 punishing days and nights in the frozen ice-covered wilderness.

NAKED AND AFRAID XL: FROZEN premieres Sunday, July 31 at 8 pm ET/PT on Discovery and discovery+.

Inserted into the challenge as four separate teams of three, the survivalists will arrive with no shoes, no clothes, no food, and no water – only primitive tools and bare minimum raw materials needed to survive in the frozen tundra. While these survivalists are no strangers to the many dangers of survival, this location ups the ante. To find the scarce food in this frozen wilderness, the survivalists must compete with some of North America’s most deadly predators: mountain lions, wolves, and grizzly bears just emerging from hibernation.

These top survivalists have taken on the bug-infested Amazon, the scorching heat of Africa, and the venomous snakes of southeast Asia. To take their next step toward becoming legends in the franchise, they must beat the harshest conditions they’ve faced yet. Will they reach the next level and survive this winter gauntlet or will they be iced out of the challenge?

In addition to watching NAKED AND AFRAID XL: FROZEN on Discovery, viewers can join the conversation on social media by using the hashtag #NakedandAfraid and following Naked and Afraid on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
