Naked and Afraid — Season 17

Season 17 aired from February through May 2024 across twelve episodes, dividing filming between South Africa and Colombia. The season premiere "Death By Crocodile" opened in the Limpopo region and set an aggressive tone, while the finale "Naked and Amish" in Colombia closed with the show's most-referenced culture-clash premise of the run.

Debuts include Ken Stornes, Fairland Ferguson, Alexa Towersey, Elise Featherstone, Erin Heim, and Milo Miller, alongside a return by franchise veteran Ky Furneaux. Notable episodes include "Colombian Cave Woman," "Hit By Hippos," "Poison Control," "Runaway Bride," and "Triple Threat," one of the season's few three-person configurations.
