Overview

• Prime Video’s first look emphasizes lethal wildlife, disease exposure and unrelenting rain in what Amazon bills as the show’s toughest setting.
• The trailer features encounters with a coral snake and bullet ants, threats from stingrays and piranhas, and mosquito swarms linked to dengue, malaria and Zika.
• The season premieres on October 7 exclusively on Prime Video, with regular episodes arriving on YouTube from October 20 alongside a 10‑part behind‑the‑scenes series.
• Producers have tightened protocols for the Amazon shoot, making a night watch mandatory and prohibiting solo excursions.
• The cast mixes survival specialists and creators, including Joe Vogel, David Leichtle, Kris Grippo, AviveHD, Jeannine Michaelsen, Imke Salander and Fibii, as fan sentiment turns more positive after the trailer despite earlier concerns over rule changes and the founder’s exit.
