CELEBRITY BEAR HUNT SET FOR SECOND SERIES ON NETFLIX

Netflix are reportedly poised to recommission Celebrity Bear Hunt for a second series, The Sun newspaper reports.

Presented by Holly Willoughby, the competition show that sees a group of unlikely British celebrities dropped into the Costa Rican jungle as prey for one of the world's most fearsome predators – Bear Grylls. Bear believes there’s an action hero inside us all - even the celebs - but how strong is their will to survive?

As Bear puts them through their paces, those who fail to impress will face the dreaded ‘Bear Hunt’ – a brutal game of cat and mouse where they’ll be hunted down by Bear himself and, if captured, eliminated from the show.

A source told The Sun that a relocation could be on the cards: "The reception to Celebrity Bear Hunt has been favourable, so the streamer wanted to make the most of its popularity. There’s a huge amount of planning involved in producing such a huge show...

"That’s not to mention the logistics and safety measures that have to be put in place to look after the welfare of Holly, Bear and the dozen celebrities who take part. Plus they have to think about the safety of the huge crew required to make the programme — and South Africa and Australia are far more stable than Costa Rica.”"

The cast of the first series - available to stream now - includes Mel B, Joe Thomas, Big Zuu, Steph McGovern, Boris Becker, Leomie Anderson, Shirley Ballas, Una Healey, Kola Bokinni and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.

Filming will reportedly take place this Autumn.
