Prime Video Releases First '7 vs. Wild' Season 5 Trailer Ahead of Oct. 7 Premiere

The Amazon-set season touts tougher conditions under stricter safety rules.

Overview

  • Set in Colombia’s Amazon, the trailer highlights coral snakes, stingrays, piranhas and bullet ants alongside relentless rain and heat that complicate fire, shelter and movement.
  • The footage emphasizes mosquito-borne disease risks such as dengue, malaria and Zika, with the jungle’s remoteness limiting timely medical access.
  • Producers signal tighter safety protocols for contestants, including a mandatory night watch and a prohibition on traveling alone.
  • Prime Video will debut the 16-episode season on October 7, with a YouTube behind-the-scenes series during the exclusive window and full episodes arriving there from October 20, plus 10 BTS installments.
  • Initial audience reaction skews positive, with YouTube comments citing renewed excitement after earlier skepticism about rule changes.
