Naked and Afraid XL Rises to the Next Level

By: Discovery

Show: Naked and Afraid XL

This season, four Naked and Afraid XL veterans attempt an epic 60-day challenge while leading a new generation of survivalists embarking on their first 40 days.

April 08, 2022

The Amazon rainforest of Peru is a brutal survival location which makes it the perfect challenge for Naked and Afraid XL: Next Level. This season gathers the most skilled and experienced survivalists and pits them against 15-foot anacondas, pounding rainstorms, relentless mosquitos, and even poisonous plants.

NAKED AND AFRAID XL returns with an all-new season premiering Sunday, May 1 at 8pm ET/PT on Discovery.

In the Next Level challenge, the survivalists are splitting into two different missions – eight XL rookies look to conquer 40 days, while four All-Stars try to become Legends by making it 60 days.

No matter what PSR you have – the Peruvian Amazon does not hold back. This location proves to be ruthless that Legendary reinforcements are called in to give the survivalists a chance to fight back against the rainforest.

Find out who will graduate to the Next Level this season on Naked and Afraid XL.
