Bear Grylls Crossover with Prime Video Show Gets New Trailer

A collision of faith, drama, and raw survival is about to take center stage. A new adventure series is set to whisk the cast of the popular drama The Chosen into the heart of the wilderness, guided by the legendary survivalist Bear Grylls.

This thrilling crossover takes beloved faces from the world of faith and history and throws them headfirst into some of the planet’s most rugged landscapes. The concept promises an exhilarating blend of high-stakes outdoor challenges and profound spiritual reflection.

The official synopsis paints a vivid picture of the adventure: cast members Jonathan Roumie, Paras Patel, Elizabeth Tabish, Noah James, Luke Dimyan, and series creator and executive producer Dallas Jenkins trade their familiar sets for the wild. They will face extreme tests, leaping from planes, scaling sheer cliffs, navigating canyons, and even engaging in some truly wild activities like eating scorpions—all under the expert direction of Bear Grylls.

Beyond the physical demands of traversing challenging environments ranging from Utah’s Castle Valley and Canyonlands to the Colorado River and the Adirondack Forest, the adventure takes an unexpected turn. Grylls doesn’t just teach survival skills; he engages the cast in deep and meaningful conversations about faith and spirituality, adding a layer of contemplative depth to the physical thrill.

The pairing is wonderfully complementary: The Chosen tells a powerful story of discipleship, while Bear Grylls is renowned for his philosophy of resilience and finding meaning amidst adversity. It’s a perfect setup for exploring how faith informs the human spirit when confronted by nature’s immensity.

This project coincides with the highly anticipated release of the sixth season of The Chosen on Prime Video, making this crossover an exciting launch for the series.

Prime Video has released a new trailer and extended key art for the upcoming series, promising audiences a glimpse into this ambitious adventure. The show is scheduled to premiere on August 9, 2026, and will be available across numerous international markets, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, the UK, and Sub-Saharan Africa.

The production quality behind this epic is overseen by director Robert Austin Vanover, with a robust team of executive producers including Grylls, Dallas Jenkins, Brad Pelo, Katherine Warnock, Ben Simon, Delbert Shoopman, Ben Mitchell, Rick Murray, Brent Ryan Green, Ryan Swanson, and Tyler Thompson. Get ready for an adventure where the spirit meets the wild!
