Netflix is adding another interactive series, this time an adventure show, You vs. Wild, with Bear Grylls that will become available from 10 April on the global video streaming service and allow viewers to choose how his adventures unfold and whether he succeeds or fails.
You vs. Wild follows after the interactive Bandersnatch episode of Black Mirror that became available over December on Netflix.
You vs. Wild is an 8-episode series with the survival expert Bear Grylls as presenter, with viewers who will be presented with several multiple choice decisions in each episode as part of an interactive viewing experience.
In You vs. Wild, a play on the Bear Grylls series Man vs. Wild he presented on the Discovery Channel for 7 seasons, the viewer makes all the decisions to see whether Bear Grylls ultimately succeeds or fails in his quests around the world. Viewers decide what Bear Grylls eats, encounters, and experiences.
"Dense jungles, towering mountains, brutal deserts, and mysterious forests await, with tough decisions around every corner," says Netflix in a statement.
"I'm so proud to deliver this first-of-its-kind live-action interactive series, really giving viewers an all-access pass to explore the world and its landscapes in my boots. The stakes are high in this one!" says Bear Grylls.
You vs Wild is executive produced by Bear Grylls, Chris Grant, Drew Buckley, Ben Silverman, Howard Owens, Rob Buchta, and Delbert Shoopman, with director Ben Simms and Electus, A Propagate Company, and Bear Grylls Ventures as the production companies.
