"In its second season on NGC, notable survivalist Bear Grylls returns to the wilderness, eager to push the mental and physical limits of a brand-new slate of celebrities in his hit adventure series," according to National Geographic's press release. 

"Hollywood's fan favorites come along for another adventurous ride to join Grylls in new challenges that make even the bravest shudder. Each week, a new celebrity guest leaves the luxury of their homes to venture into some of the most extreme environments in the world to conquer fears, test their limits, and sometimes dabble in nature's not-so-tasty delicacies. Continuing to push superstars' comfort levels, this season Grylls travels the globe from the deserts of Utah to the Dolomites of Italy and the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California for more epic, life-changing adventures," the release adds.
