Earlier this year, Discovery Channel introduced a major twist to its long-running reality series Naked and Afraid. The new spinoff Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing pitted 12 experienced survivalists against each other in a 45-day, multiphase challenge. Adding an element of competition – and a $100,000 prize – to Naked and Afraid didn’t go over well with everyone. But the show was a hit with viewers. So, will the show return for another season? Here’s what we know.

The castaways’ brutal journey has come to an end. In the season finale of the Discovery reality series Naked and Afraid: Castaways, the remaining six survivalists had to make their way to the northern tip of the island and then build a raft that would carry them out to sea, where they’d be rescued by a passing ship. But it wouldn’t be an easy journey, with brutal temperatures, jagged rocks, and internal squabbles threatening their chances of completing the challenge.

Naked and Afraid’s “bare-handed killer” says the latest version of the survival reality series was no joke.
