Fox has picked up a ninth season of Running Wild with Bear Grylls, resurrecting the survival reality series for the first time since 2023.

Network president Michael Thorn issued the following statement about the show’s return:

“’Running Wild with Bear Grylls’ combines epic adventure with intimate, human storytelling, which pairs perfectly with Fox’s premium unscripted slate. Bear has a rare ability to push people beyond their comfort zones in ways that are both visceral and emotionally revealing, and this new season raises the bar – from breathtaking locations to the remarkable guests joining him on these unforgettable journeys.”

The show originally premiered on NBC in 2014, where it aired for four seasons before moving to National Geographic for four more. Its most recent run was branded Running Wild with Bear Grylls: The Challenge.

We’ve updated the FOX cancel/renew scorecard to reflect this news.

Each episode follows Grylls and a celebrity companion as they spend 48 hours trekking through remote and often dangerous environments around the world.

Running Wild With Bear Grylls Season 9 is slated to premiere this spring on FOX.
