In Bear Grylls Is Running Wild, the legendary adventurer takes celebrities into the wild for 48 hours. Each episode features thrilling action, with the adventures in the wilderness serving as a backdrop to some of the most famous people on the planet opening up in revealing conversations, showing a side of themselves they haven’t before.
In this season on Fox, those adventures include Norway’s glacial wilderness, the legendary mountains of Eryri in Wales, the Arctic rainforest, vast canyonlands, and brutal desert terrain. The celebrities will be pushed to the limits tackling glacier crossings, canyon descents, high-risk extractions, and an adrenaline-charged freefall from 11,000 feet, into an adventure along the Irish Sea.
The series is produced by Propagate Content and The Natural Studios. Ben Silverman, Howard T. Owens, Drew Buckley, Chris Grant, Bear Grylls, Delbert Shoopman, Benjamin Simon and Derek Green from Everest Brand Group, and Robert Vanover (who also serves as showrunner) are executive producers.
