Naked and Afraid

“Naked and Afraid” welcomes back a legend this Sunday. Steven Lee Hall Jr., known as “the King of the Forest” for his exceptional survival skills, returns to the show for another brutal challenge. This time, he’s headed to the backwoods of Kentucky for a 21-day ordeal, accompanied by two first-time survivalists.

“Return of the King” ups the ante, throwing everything the Kentucky wilderness has to offer at the trio – from venomous copperheads to intense storms. Even for a seasoned pro like Hall, this new environment poses significant threats. Will his experience be enough to guide him and his companions through this harsh test of human endurance? Or will the Kentucky backwoods prove to be too much even for the King?
