Naked and Afraid: Global Showdown (2026 - 2026)

Competitors from across the globe battle for national pride and $200,000.

When prime hunting grounds are unlocked, several teams take down warthogs.

The first elimination tests survivalists' ability to make fire in damp conditions and puts a legend on the chopping block.

In a two-part challenge, survivalists must choose who will use the primitive bow and who will process each kill.

Competitors move to a new survival zone patrolled by territorial hippos, upending the challenge.

A primitive weapons challenge where survivalists build and use atlatls leads to a shocking elimination matchup.

The final four teams build four-pronged, fire-hardened spears to skewer fish.

The final three teams migrate to the shores of the Indian Ocean. Two teams score crab, stingray and octopus, but the third struggles to get food.

With national pride on the line, the last two teams square off in a multi-stage gauntlet testing their ability to build traps, shoot targets, bushcraft weapons and make fire.
