The small screen behemoth that is the “Naked and Afraid” franchise has yet another spinoff starting this Sunday, with its new “Apocalypse” iteration taking the action to the barely habitable plains of South Africa.
You can watch “Naked and Afraid: Apocalypse” online around the world and from anywhere with a VPN.
Those familiar with previous versions of “Naked and Afraid” will be all too familiar with the concept — a dozen survivalists are dropped into an unforgiving landscape without a thread of clothing on their back and equipped with only one useful tool or item of their choice.
This latest spinoff derives its names from the environment that will greet them. Set in South Africa, the scorched wasteland looks like something out of a post-apocalyptic movie, complete with burnt out cars, abandoned mine shafts, arid desert and the nearby threat of some of the planet’s most dangerous predators. The aim this time isn’t merely to survive, but to escape back to civilization.
Luckily, you get to enjoy the show from the comfort of your own living room, so read on to find out how to watch “Naked and Afraid: Apocalypse” online and stream the latest spinoff show from anywhere.
