The former SAS man starts his latest series of life-threatening challenges with a trip to the Canadian Rockies...

"Bear Grylls is Running Wild" used to be called "Running Wild with Bear Grylls" but that seems to be the extent of the revamp as it marks a return to our screens on FOX - its third home after NBC and Nat Geo since launch in 2014. And yes, the posh British adventurer type is still busy making famous people do outdoors stuff...

Below is our guide to how to watch "Bear Grylls is Running Wild" from anywhere with a VPN.

'Bear Grylls is Running Wild' release date and time

"Bear Grylls is Running Wild" premieres on FOX on Tuesday, April 21 at 9 p.m. E.T.. Episodes will also be available the next day on Hulu.
• U.S. — FOX/ Hulu (stream next day)
• International — TBA (maybe Disney+)
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free

And when we say "famous" we mean everyone from Kate Winslet to Barrack Obama. For the first season on FOX he kicks off with Matthew McConaughey and takes in Machine Gun Kelly and Uma Thurman (see below for full list) so the standard of guest remains high.

Why do they agree to be subjected to the wilderness for two days with an overgrown Boy Scout and a camera crew for company? Your guess is as good as mine but they can expect zip wires, helicopters, unusual food choices, jumping off stuff, getting wet and going up in the estimation of the public.

Here’s how to watch "Bear Grylls is Running Wild" online from anywhere with a VPN.
