Watch Naked And Afraid Season 18: Synopsis
The wildly entertaining Discovery Channel series has returned! Shedding their clothes and turning their back on society for three long weeks, we’ll (mostly) see a new group of savvy survivalists fend for themselves in some of the world’s most extreme environments – contending with predators, exposure to the elements, and just sometimes, their infuriating partner. So, drop everything and find out below how to watch Naked and Afraid Season 18 and stream every episode from anywhere.
Debuting in 2013, Naked and Afraid provides contestants with a frankly insane challenge of human ingenuity and resilience. It’s certainly not one for the faint of heart. Each episode follows two stark naked strangers left alone in unforgiving terrain. From humid, snake-infested jungles to freezing tundra, they’re forced to source their own shelter, food, and water while avoiding venomous reptiles, heat stroke, and grizzly bears looking to raid their protein supplies. Only after they’ve endured 21 days, concluding with an arduous bare-foot trek to their extraction point, will they be declared victorious.
Season 18 will feature some fearless new contestants boasting some huge (though tastefully pixelated!) cojones. Having already scaled Mount Kilimanjaro, Mandy, joined by her partner Jonny, will make history as the show’s first bilateral amputee, as they enter the snake-infested jungle of Belize. Meanwhile, series stars Steven Lee Hall Hr. and Laura Zerra will aid two nude amateur survivalists in adapting to Kentucky’s punishing backwoods. One installment will even involve a purportedly haunted Mayan jungle, where a four-person tribe will live on a site once used for human sacrifice. Spooky!
