The new season covers different parts of the world and introduces new features for the franchise.

The arrival of the new season of one of the most challenging survival shows on television, "Naked and Afraid," is just around the corner. This time, season 18 kicks off with a milestone in the series' history: the participation of Mandy, the first double amputee on the show. Mandy, who lost both of her legs in an accident ten years ago, has proven her strength by becoming the first bilateral amputee woman to reach the summit of Kilimanjaro, bringing a wealth of personal overcoming experience.

Alongside Mandy, Jonny will embark on a 21-day adventure in the jungles of Belize, where they will face challenges such as hungry mosquitoes, torrential rains, and dangerous wildlife, with the aim of demonstrating that no challenge is impossible. Additionally, this season, superfan Ernie will team up with fitness enthusiast Amanda to see if her theoretical knowledge of survival can hold up in a real 14-day test. Veterans like Steven Lee Hall Jr. and Laura Zerra will also return to the series, pairing up with newcomers to take on this challenge together.

The season promises to be exciting, with episodes exploring everything from Mayan sacrifice sites to encounters with venomous snakes. The storyline will extend from the Philippines to the Americas, offering a blend of perseverance and ingenuity that will captivate audiences.

As for its availability, season 18 of "Naked and Afraid" will premiere in the United States on Discovery on March 9 at 8 PM (ET/PT), with episodes airing weekly. Those who prefer streaming services can find Discovery on platforms like Sling TV, which offers initial access at a promotional price, and it will also be available on Max the following day.

Meanwhile, in Canada, while episodes will be broadcast on Discovery Plus, a confirmed release date has yet to be announced. Subscribers to Discovery Plus will be able to access the content for a monthly fee. In Australia and the UK, release details are still pending, but episodes are expected to be available through local streaming services.

The series aims to inspire viewers by highlighting human resilience even in the most adverse situations, and the inclusion of stories like Mandy’s deeply resonates with the spirit of perseverance that characterizes "Naked and Afraid."
