Overview
- All six episodes of The Chosen in the Wild launched on Prime Video on Sunday, August 9, with the full season available at once.
- The series pairs Bear Grylls with six talents from The Chosen for solo-location episodes that mix survival challenges and long-form conversations.
- Filming took place across distinct U.S. sites such as the Colorado River, Castle Valley, Canyonlands, the Great Basin Desert and the Adirondacks to make the outdoors a narrative device.
- Grylls and participants emphasized the show’s family-friendly, faith-forward aim and said the format let him be more outspoken about religion than on past celebrity-guest programs.
- Critical responses were mixed to negative, with reviewers accusing Grylls of self-aggrandisement and calling the episodes formulaic and emotionally manufactured despite cast praise for candid faith reflections.
