‘Running Wild With Bear Grylls’ Season 4 Features Top Celebrities
It’s a jungle out there, and celebrities are heading into the heart of it.
On Season 4 of Running Wild With Bear Grylls, the survivalist recruits a fresh batch of A-listers to show their mettle during adventures in far-flung locales. First up: Joseph Gordon-Levitt coming across a crocodile on a harrowing expedition to Kenya. Grylls previews other stars’ outdoor exploits.

(Think: Dodging rolling rocks and dining on seeds from a pigeon carcass.) “But she finished by parachuting off a volcano.” (May 14)

Roger Federer’s Slippery Climb
The tennis champ (he declined previous invites because of potential injury risk) joined Grylls in the Swiss Alps, where they scaled a 200-foot frozen waterfall. Says Grylls, “His learning curve is so fast.” (Airdate TBD)
