Overview

• The series debuted Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on Discovery Channel and streams live on Philo, DirecTV and Sling with on-demand access via Discovery+, Hulu and HBO Max.
• Twelve contestants—franchise veterans like Steven Lee Hall Jr., Amber Hargrove and Waz Addy alongside newcomers—are split into teams to scavenge wreckage in a ghost town, cemetery, junkyard and abandoned mine.
• Participants have no option for extraction and must repurpose salvaged materials to navigate back to civilization over the course of 35 days.
• Survivalists face extreme heat, severe drought and predators including lions, leopards, hyenas and hippos in a post-human South African wasteland.
• As the seventh spinoff in the Naked and Afraid franchise, Apocalypse intensifies the format by removing safety nets and raising stakes in the live survival genre.
