Bear Grylls and Man vs. Wild is about to start its second season, beginning with a new one-hour special on Fridays at 9 pm (ET/PT).
The season premiere will have him on "Mission Everest," where he attempts to fly a powered paraglider higher than Mount Everest; something he says is a dream he's had for some time.
Fans will soon also be able to view an exclusive behind-the-scenes interview with Grylls from Mount Everest at discovery.com/manvswild, where he talks about the things he missed while living at the high altitude, safety measures and whether he'll ever go there again.
“We continue to seek out new exciting and daring adventures for Bear, and he continues to do what he does best – as exemplified in these two different types of shows,” said Discovery Channel President and General Manager Jane Root. “From an expedition documentary to hands-on demonstrations of life-saving tips for viewers, Bear Grylls brings out the adventurer in all of us.”
This years episodes will focus on three different geographic regions: the Sahara, jungle of Panama and the glaciers and plains of Patagonia. Each area offers unique survival challenges.
Bear Grylls formerly served in the special forces of the British Army.
The new season for Man vs. Wild will begin on November 9 on the Discovery Channel.
