Naked and Afraid: Solo — Season 1

Naked and Afraid: Solo debuted March 12, 2023 with an eight-episode arc following eight solo survivalists, Cheeny Plante, Fernando Calderon, James Lewis, Jamie Frizzell, Kaila Cumings, Shanika Malcolm, Suzanne Zeta, and Terra Short, each attempting a 21-day challenge without a partner.

The spinoff stripped away the interpersonal dynamic that had defined the parent show and put the spotlight squarely on individual competence, isolation, and self-talk. Episodes like "Surviving Solo," "A Risky Decision," "The Long Trek Back," "Bladder Parasite," "Catfish Hunter," and the finale "Never Quit" documented eight distinct approaches to solo wilderness endurance, from patient trap-focused strategies to more aggressive hunt-and-cover playstyles.
