Audience's favorite survival challenge is back with three all-new, early premieres of NAKED AND AFRAID on discovery+, the definitive non-fiction, real-life subscription streaming service. Beginning Sunday, January 31, a new lineup of survivalists from around the world will take on the 21-day challenge to test themselves against the wilderness. Stripped from head to toe, all they are allowed to bring is one survival item. The physical and mental exhaustion causes some duos to turn on each other and others to bond together to complete the challenge.

From the punishing Namibian desert to the brutal black water swamps of Florida, the early premieres of NAKED AND AFRAID follow three pairs of survivalists as they endure harsh elements, vicious predators and each other in the ultimate battle between mankind and Mother Nature. Threatened by venomous snakes and dangerous wildlife, a hard-headed single mom and an elite military alpha-male will be pushed to their limits. An Australian bushman and American biologist form an intimate bond during their challenge, but their relationship is tested as they search for scarce food and are tracked by territorial baboons. South Africa's aggressive scorpions and burrowing ticks attack the survivalists in their most vulnerable places. With their challenge at risk, the pair must band together to have a chance at success.

Don't miss three all-new episodes of NAKED AND AFRAID as they premiere early on discovery+ beginning Sunday, January 31. In addition to watching NAKED AND AFRAID on discovery+, Discovery Channel will air a special block of love and relationship shipped vintage episodes on Valentine's Day, Sunday February 14 from 1:00pm-11:00pm ET/PT.
