Bear Grylls Returns To Discovery With ‘Ultimate Survivors’

5 February 2013 5:48 AM, PST | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »

Discovery and former Man Vs. Wild host Bear Grylls parted ways in 2012 over a programming disagreement, but bygones would appear to be bygones. Discovery Networks International says the survival expert will return to the overseas fold with new series, Bear Grylls: Ultimate Survivors. The six-part hourlong show will air on the Discovery Channel in 217 international markets across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Ultimate Survivors sees Grylls chronicle incredible stories of ordinary people stranded in dire situations. He’ll then pit himself against the same dangers and scenarios. Grylls said he was “super excited to be working with Discovery again” and Discovery returned the compliment:  “We are thrilled to welcome Bear back to the Discovery fold,” said Dni chief content officer and Evp Luis Silberwasser. The show is produced for Dni by Discovery’s betty TV. Sarah Davies is executive producer for Dni, and Neil Smith exec produces for betty. »
