In a special one-hour preview, 12 Naked and Afraid veterans prepare for the most formidable survival challenge on the planet - surviving 40 days and 40 nights in the sun-scorched bush of South Africa with some of the most dangerous predators on the planet.

12 Naked and Afraid veterans put their lives on the line and begin their 40 day and 40 night challenge in the sun-scorched bush of South Africa during the middle of a drought, while alongside the deadliest predators on the planet. Will even one survive?

On the drought-stricken plains of South Africa, the remaining survivalists enter the second week of their brutal 40-day challenge. A lack of water leads one group to venture off to find others and another group goes hunting again for big game.

Only two weeks in and South Africa is already taking a huge toll on our survivalists, mentally and physically. Frustrations between survivalists explode, deadly leopards circle, and cases of tick-bite fever threaten to take some out of the challenge.

The Survivalists approach the halfway point of their brutal challenge. With starvation and sickness worse than ever they must come together to help one another, but the battle for Alpha Male distracts them from their strategy and may be their downfall.

Steven fails to return with Darrin from their two-day hunting expedition, leaving the group with no choice but to break camp in a desperate search for answers.

Tragedy strikes when Ryan separates from the group and a deadly animal circles his camp while sick and helpless.

A group of amateur survivalists are put to the ultimate test in the wild for 40 days with nothing but a few primitive tools. No food. No clothing. No water. They must hunt and gather whatever they need until extraction day.

In a 24-hour period, the contaminated fruit of a single tree sets off a shocking chain of events. As panic and illness spread through the group it's questionable whether anyone will make it to Day 40.

The stakes are higher than ever in the season finale as deadly predators begin closing in on the remaining survivalists. They must find energy from deep within to secure food and begin their long journey to extraction.
