Joyn Announces 2026 Adventure Doc 'Surviving Amazonas' With Lilly Becker and Joey Kelly

Eight public figures will spend ten days living under Shanenawa customs, facing physical and mental tests and a traditional healing ritual.

Overview

  • Joyn confirmed the series for release in 2026 and has not set a premiere date.
  • Participants include Lilly Becker, Joey Kelly, Parshad, Willi Whey, Gina Rühl, Antonia Hemmer, Lézan and How2Shirli.
  • The format embeds the celebrities in the Shanenawa community for ten days, where they follow local rules and complete challenges.
  • Those deemed worthy may be honored under a sacred tree with an indigenous name and lifelong inclusion in the village.
  • Filmpool is producing the show, which Joyn says will be free to stream, and coverage notes the Shanenawa live in Brazil’s Acre within the Terra Indígena Katukina/Kaxinawá, a region reported as at high risk of deforestation.
