Naked and Afraid — Season 7

Season 7 aired from March through May 2017 across ten episodes, taking twenty-one survivalists through Belize, Ecuador, Trinidad, Montserrat, South Africa, Australia, Panama, Louisiana, and Colombia. The season premiere "Eye of the Storm" set the tone with hurricane-force weather in Belize.

Standouts include "The Monster" in Australia, "Curse of the Swamp" in Louisiana, "The Lost World" in South Africa, and "Ashes to Ashes" filmed near the still-active Soufrière Hills volcano on Montserrat. The season closed with "Worlds Collide" in Ecuador, which set up a direct narrative bridge to that year's Naked and Afraid XL Season 3. Debuts included Jason Gassaway, Melissa Miller, Lacey Jones, Chad Keel, Melanie Rauscher, Kaila Cumings, and Wes Adams, several of whom went on to appear across the wider franchise.
