The series will premiere from June 15 at 11 PM on Discovery Channel and will also stream on discovery+.
Survival In The Wild
Known internationally for its intense survival challenges and stories of human endurance, Naked and Afraid now arrives in India with six Indian survivalists venturing deep into the jungles of Palawan in the Philippines.
With no access to modern comforts and only limited survival tools, contestants will rely on instinct, physical endurance and mental resilience to survive.
‘No Mercy. No Escape’
Staying true to its theme, “No Mercy. No Escape”, the show places participants in extreme and unfamiliar conditions where every decision could impact survival.
The contestants will navigate forests, caves, riverbeds and coastal terrain while battling hunger, exhaustion, harsh weather and interpersonal conflicts.
Diverse Contestants, One Goal
The Indian edition features mountaineers, wildlife rescuers, athletes, travel creators and outdoor explorers from across the country.
Each participant enters with a single survival item and receives a Primitive Survival Rating (PSR), setting the tone for a high-stakes journey driven by adaptability and resourcefulness.
Six Episodes Of Raw Survival
Spread across six episodes, the series follows the contestants as they migrate through dangerous terrain in search of food, shelter and essential survival resources.
From building shelters and securing food to crossing risky landscapes and forming alliances under pressure, Naked and Afraid: Aadimanav promises survival storytelling in its rawest form.
A New Space For Indian Factual Entertainment
The launch marks the arrival of a globally recognised franchise in India at a time when survival-based factual entertainment remains largely unexplored in the country.
