Netflix is no stranger to reality content, especially in the romance department. However, in recent years, we’ve seen some new reality series from the streamer that push its contestants to incredible feats of strength, survival, and teamwork, such as South Korea’s Physical 100 and Siren: Survive the Island.
When is Celebrity Bear Hunt coming to Netflix?
Netflix has revealed that the first season of Celebrity Bear Hunt will be released on February 5th, 2025.
What is Celebrity Bear Hunt about?
Netflix has provided a synopsis for the reality series:
“Holly Willoughby hosts this action-packed competition show that sees a group of unlikely British celebrities dropped into the Costa Rican jungle as prey for one of the world’s most fearsome predators – Bear Grylls. Bear believes there’s an action hero inside us all – even the celebs – but how strong is their will to survive? As Bear puts them through their paces, those who fail to impress will face the dreaded ‘Bear Hunt’ – a brutal game of cat and mouse where they’ll be hunted down by Bear himself and, if captured, eliminated from the show.”
