Discovery announced today that Naked and Afraid: Last One Standing is coming back for its third season on May 18. For the first time ever, 14 elite survivalists will brave the treacherous Australian Outback, combating the harsh environment, venomous snakes, and slithering rivals, in what the network bills as the toughest and most shocking season yet.

The series follows a group of Naked and Afraid's fan-favorite legends returning to take on new challengers in an all-out battle of skill, innovation, and grit. The competitor who demonstrates the best bushcraft, ingenuity, and stamina to outlast their opponents in head-to-head, multiphase challenges will earn the crown, a coveted perfect 10.0 Primitive Survival Rating and a $100,000 cash prize.

The unforgiving Australian Outback was chosen to push these battle-tested survivalists - each of whom have completed at least two previous Naked and Afraid challenges - to their absolute limits. Competitors will enter the uninhabited Outback completely naked and without any food or water, facing the blistering heat during the day and freezing temperatures that threaten hypothermia at night. The brutal environment presents both deadly threats and game-changing opportunities - from the highly lethal taipan snake, whose bite has enough venom to take down 100 humans, to 250-pound wild boars that could provide an ample food source to skilled hunters.
