Netflix's new survival series, Celebrity Bear Hunt, plunges a group of famous faces into the heart of the Costa Rican rainforest, where they must conquer demanding physical and mental trials while evading the relentless pursuit of Bear Grylls.
Celebrity Bear Hunt has just premiered, and it's already captivating audiences. Drawing inspiration from the success of 'I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!', the show throws a group of well-known personalities into a challenging jungle environment. They must face grueling physical and mental tasks while striving to outmaneuver the renowned survival expert, Bear Grylls , in a race to the finish line.
The star-studded cast includes Mel B, Boris Becker, Big Zuu, Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, and Shirley Ballas. Viewers have been treated to glimpses of stunning blue lagoons, creepy crawlies, eerie sounds, and the lush expanse of the rainforest. While the precise filming locations remain shrouded in secrecy, Netflix has confirmed that the show is set in Costa Rica, a country renowned for its sprawling rainforests. It is estimated that Costa Rica boasts around 50% rainforest coverage, with 25% of it protected. Speculation suggests that one possible location is Corcovado National Park, a remote rainforest sanctuary teeming with wildlife such as birds, monkeys, and wildcats. Situated on the Osa Peninsula, on the southwestern coast of Costa Rica, it offers a breathtakingly wild backdrop. Adding an extra layer of suspense, the show features a custom-built escape room known as 'The Bear Pit,' where contestants will be relentlessly hunted by Bear Grylls himself. Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen, Leomie Anderson, Mel B, and Steph McGovern were the first celebrities to fall prey to Grylls's pursuit, becoming the inaugural group to enter the dreaded Bear Pit.Living together in close quarters, with constant cameras documenting their every move, it's inevitable that tensions will rise among the 12 celebrities. Ahead of the show's premiere, Grylls ominously predicted, 'I have done many wild things in my life but I have never hunted celebrities. The celebrities won't come out of this the same.
