Returning: Running Wild with Bear Grylls

Bear Grylls returns for the fourth season of Running Wild with Bear Grylls next week on SBS.

In each episode, a different celebrity undergoes a crash course in survival techniques.

SBS is screening just 3 episodes, 2 of which screen next Monday. These aired internationally last month.

Running Wild with Don Cheadle (Monday, 8.30pm, 12.30am AWST)
Actor Don Cheadle joins Bear on a rigorous journey to the White Mountains of New England on this episode of Running Wild. Dropped from a helicopter into unyielding terrain, Don and Bear get creative with a deer antler to cross a raging river, rappel a massive shear cliff, and attempt a commando-worthy climb of a towering railroad bridge. But the discovery of a rotting porcupine carcass, which Bear eyes for dinner, will raise Don’s pulse like nothing else. Along the way, Don details his family-oriented home life, the ups and down of a legendary career, and the secretive workings of a Marvel movie set.

Running Wild with Keri Russell (Saturday, 9.35pm, 7.30pm AWST)
Actress Keri Russell joins Bear on an epic journey to the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa on this Running Wild episode. After battling the dangerous, loose rock of a massive volcano, the duo descend into a mysterious slot canyon where they source a meager dinner of undigested seeds from a pigeon carcass and test their luck with a grappling hook to escape the towering canyon walls. Later, after a cringe-worthy breakfast of crickets, the duo makes a daring escape from a mountain peak using a paraglider. Along the way, Keri reveals her path to fame, her love of family, and the playful struggles of co-starring alongside her husband.

Episode 3 with Lena Headey will air Tuesday, 3 July at 10.00pm
