Naked and Afraid Castaways — Season 1

Naked and Afraid Castaways debuted in July 2023 with an eight-episode arc filmed in Panama. Nine survivalists, Andrew Shayde, Bulent Gurcan, Candice Mishler, Heather Smith, Justin Governale, Kerra Bennett, Na'im McKee, Patrick French, and Rachel Caroline Strohl, were dropped into a castaway-format challenge with a heavier focus on group dynamics and shifting alliances than the parent show's paired format.

Episode titles included "Lord of the Sand Flies," "The Barehanded Killer is Back," "Time to be a Badass," "Trading One Hell for Another," "I'm Done, I'm Done, I'm Done," "Hell, Hogs and High Water," "Crash and Burning Up," and the finale "Brawl Out." The season leaned into the interpersonal conflict that a nine-way castaway setup encourages.
