Naked and Afraid XL

In a special one-hour preview, 12 Naked & Afraid veterans prepare for the most formidable survival challenge on the planet - surviving 40 days and 40 nights in the sun-scorched bush of South Africa.

12 Naked and Afraid veterans put their lives on the line and begin their 40 day and 40 night challenge in the sun-scorched bush of South Africa during the middle of a drought, while alongside the deadliest predators on the planet. Will even one survive?

On the drought-stricken plains of South Africa, the remaining survivalists enter the second week of their brutal 40-day challenge. A lack of water leads one group to venture off to find others and another group goes hunting again for big game.

Only two weeks in and South Africa is already taking a huge toll on our survivalists, mentally and physically. Frustrations between survivalists explode, deadly leopards circle, and cases of tick-bite fever threaten to take some out of the challenge.

The Survivalists approach the halfway point of their brutal challenge. With starvation and sickness worse than ever they must come together to help one another, but the battle for Alpha Male distracts them from their strategy and may be their downfall.

Steven fails to return with Darrin from their two-day hunting expedition, leaving the group with no choice but to break camp in a desperate search for answers.
