Surviving Amazonas: ProSieben and Joyn Premiere Adventure-Documentary

The series sends eight public figures to live ten days with the Shanenawa as an immersive project documenting traditional rituals, trials, potential community recognition.

Overview

  • The show will launch on 8 September 2026 with first episodes available at 0:00 on Joyn and a same-night broadcast at 22:35 on ProSieben.
  • Eight celebrities — including Lilly Becker, Joey Kelly and Parshad Esmaeili — spent ten days living with the Shanenawa in the Brazilian Amazon while cameras recorded physical and mental trials plus traditional healing rituals.
  • ProSieben and Joyn promote the format as an 'adventure-documentary' that is not a conventional reality show and offer Joyn+ subscriber previews of upcoming episodes.
  • Filming took place in autumn 2025 and participants have described deeply personal and spiritual experiences, with Lilly Becker publicly recounting an intense ayahuasca ceremony.
  • Reports differ on the total episode count, with some outlets saying ten episodes released in double bills and others saying Joyn has not disclosed the full number, a discrepancy that leaves scheduling details unresolved and raises questions about editorial framing and indigenous consent.
