Naked and Afraid isn’t quite like any other reality show. The Discovery Channel series drops two strangers in a remote location and then challenges them to survive for 21 days – without clothes, water, or food. Each person also gets to bring one survival item. But beyond that, they’re on their own (though a camera crew is close at hand to document their experience).
The show’s participants literally bare all. But audiences don’t see everything that happens. From what it’s like to strip down for the first time to the truth about how involved the show’s producers are in shaping storylines, here are some secrets Naked and Afraid cast members have revealed about being on the show.

The long-pending separation of the Lionsgate studio and Starz businesses will take a little longer, the company said Wednesday. A new acquisition and other factors have pushed the split from September to early 2024.
“With the impact of the eOne acquisition on regulatory approvals, uncertainties surrounding the strike and our efforts to create the most efficient capital structure within a disruptive marketplace, we anticipate that the separation will now take place in the first quarter of calendar 2024,” Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer, said on the company’s fiscal first quarter earnings call Wednesday.
The mini-major recently finalized plans to purchase Entertainment One from Hasbro for $500 million, a lot less than the $3.9 billion Hasbro paid for the studio in 2019. The acquisition gives Lionsgate another batch of titles and IP to add to its already large library.

It’s Naked and Afraid, Robinson Crusoe-style. Naked and Afraid: Castaways, the latest spinoff of the popular reality series, takes nine former cast members and strands them on a deserted island somewhere in the Pacific, with no clothes, tools, or supplies. Over the next 21 days, they’ll have to fight to survive, eventually making their way to a designated extraction point, where they’ll signal a ship for rescue.
The Naked and Afraid Castaways cast includes familiar faces from past seasons, including a fan-favorite competitor who previously completed an Xl challenge and a person who appeared on the spinoff Naked and Afraid of Love.

Will these castaways survive the island? In Discovery Channel’s latest spinoff of its hit reality series Naked and Afraid, nine former cast members are marooned on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean.

Two survivalists tap out in the ‘Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing’ finale
Out of the 12 survivalists who embarked on the Last One Standing challenge more than a month ago, just five remained when the finale began: Jeff Zausch, Dan Link, Waz Addy, Steven Lee Hall Jr., and Gary Golding. All are skilled survivalists with multiple Naked and Afraid challenges under their belts. But each one seriously struggled with the finale’s first elimination challenge, which required them to make a primitive fire and then boil a pot of water.

The latest Naked and Afraid spinoff is raising the stakes. Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing takes 12 of the toughest competitors from past seasons of the Discovery Channel reality show and drops them in South Africa’s punishing Oribi Gorge. The contestants will face off in a multiphase challenge that will test their survival skills as they compete to win a $100,000 grand prize.
‘Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing’ competition explained
Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing is a grueling, 45-day competition. It unfolds in three phases, with rules and twists unlike any before seen on the show.
The challenge begins in phase one, when pairs of survivalists must fight to last 21 days in the wilderness. Each pair will have to hunt for food, water, fire, and shelter. But in a Naked and Afraid first, they’ll also have to earn the tools they need to survive, which are cached in the surrounding environment.

After posting giant per screen numbers at four theaters last weekend, A24’s Beau Is Afraid jumps to 926 for the distributor’s third outing with Ari Aster. It’s a very different film from his horror favorites Hereditary and Midsommar but one the distributor hopes will cement the director’s place as a modern auteur.
According to one influential fan, it has. Martin Scorsese, at a Q&a after an Imax screening in New York this week, called Aster a “unique and powerful” risk taker and “one of the most extraordinary new voices in World Cinema.”
Beau is scary in parts, like an opening Scorsese described as “the best scene I’ve seen of its kind. Absolutely terrifying.” There’s comedy, animation, a conflation of past, present and future, of reality and fantasy, of guilt, innocence, fear and self-loathing and an ongoing play within the movie.

Ari Aster has quickly become a favorite of mine. The filmmaker has crafted three excellent and terribly fascinating features Hereditary, Midsommar, and Beau is Afraid. His latest is a strange and beautiful concoction of mommy issues gone wrong. It’s a delicious black comedy, it’s a little horrific, and it’s weird Af. Yes, weird is a great description – seriously, check out Chris Bumbray’s own take Here. And, of course, Joker Oscar winner Joaquin Phoenix is utterly stellar here. This incredible cast includes the great Patti LuPone, Zoe-Lister Jones, Armen Nahapetian, and more. It’s very likely you’ve never watched a flick quite like this.
I recently had a terrific conversation with a few of the cast members behind this strange tale. Amy Ryan and Nathan Lane, who are both terrific here, add a wonderful element to the storyline they inhabit. The two opened up about working with Mr.

Ari Aster’s newest movie, Beau Is Afraid, bears a stark similarity to his many short films, which collectively create a portrait of codependent guilt and pain.
“I am so sorry… for what your daddy passed down to you. But I wanted a child, the greatest gift of my life.”
Ari Aster’s Beau is Afraid has been equated to a cinematic nervous breakdown that chronicles Beau Wassermann’s (Joaquin Phoenix) prolonged journey to get home and see his mother, Mona (Patti LuPone), after tragedy strikes. This simple geographical trip transforms into a lucid fantasy of epic proportions as Beau’s past, present, and hypothetical futures are put under scrutiny from a beyond-suffocating guilt trip. Beau enters various states of consciousness and unconsciousness that put him through separate trials. These ordeals may feel disconnected in nature, but they all represent the same goal of Beau coming to terms with the...

Updated with launch date: Warner Bros Discovery has confirmed its long-expected plan to jettison the “HBO” from HBO Max, announcing that its rebranded streaming service will be called Max.
The new offering, which combines programming from HBO Max and Discovery, will go live May 23. The company made the announcement during a press event at Stage 14 on its Burbank lot.
“This is a real moment for us … This is our time. This is our chance, and everything is possible,” CEO David Zaslav said in his introductory remarks. “I feel like, for our company, this is our rendezvous with destiny.” The $43 billion Warner Media-Discovery merger closed a bit more than a year ago, and 2023 also happens to be the 100th anniversary of the founding of Warner Bros.

Naked and Afraid isn’t for the faint of heart. The survival-based reality TV show, which dumps two people (typically one female and one male) in a remote location without food, water, or clothing, is truly a battle of willpower. But while the cast members are almost always left to their own devices, they aren’t completely without access to help. Turns out, the cast has a secret way of calling for help in the case of a true emergency. But just how are they able to send out an Sos should they really need to?

Discovery Channel’s unscripted survival series Naked and Afraid returns for a 15th season on February 19, 2023. The new season promises higher stakes and a surprising twist that finds two Naked and Afraid medics stepping in front of the camera and taking part in the challenge.
The naked survivalists will attempt to find food, water, and shelter in such inhospitable climates as the jungles of Guyana and Devil’s Canyon in Mexico.
The teaser trailer for the new season shows the contestants are absolutely miserable. One admits that what looked like paradise turned out to be hell, while another believes the jungle’s trying to kill her. One survivalist even points out that everything in the area is named after the Devil, adding, “Not today, Satan.”
