RED-HOT RIVALRIES IGNITE INTENSE BATTLE ROYALE AMONG LEGENDS WHEN EXTREME SURVIVAL COMPETITION SERIES, NAKED AND AFRAID: LAST ONE STANDING, RETURNS SUNDAY, MAY 18 AT 8:00PM ET/PT ON DISCOVERY CHANNEL

(New York, NY) - April 18, 2025 - For the first time ever, fourteen elite survivalists will brave the treacherous Australian Outback, combating the harsh environment, venomous snakes and slithering rivals, when the toughest and most shocking season yet of NAKED AND AFRAID: LAST ONE STANDING premieres on Sunday, May 18 at 8:00PM ET/PT on Discovery Channel.

Fan-favorite legends return to take on new challengers in an all-out battle of skill, innovation, and grit. The competitor who demonstrates the best bushcraft, ingenuity and stamina to outlast their opponents in head-to-head, multiphase challenges will earn the crown, a coveted perfect 10.0 Primitive Survival Rating and a $100,000 cash prize. This season, survivalists will face heartbreaking medical tap outs, legacy-defining moments, and the most shocking elimination ever seen in the franchise.

The unforgiving Australian Outback was intentionally chosen to push these battle-tested survivalists - each of whom have completed at least two previous Naked and Afraid challenges - to their absolute limits. Competitors will enter the uninhabited Outback completely naked and without any food or water, facing the blistering heat during the day and freezing temperatures that threaten hypothermia at night. The brutal environment presents both deadly threats and game-changing opportunities - from the highly lethal taipan snake, whose bite has enough venom to take down 100 humans, to 250-pound wild boars that could provide an ample food source to skilled hunters.
