You vs Wild: Interactive Bear Grylls series coming to Netflix

Ever wanted to decide whether Bear Grylls survives his wildness adventures or not? Well, now you can.

Netflix are launching a new interactive series which allows viewers to decide what Grylls does while out in the wilderness.

Titled You vs Wild, the series will take the presenter around the world, following him up mountains, through jungles and across deserts. 

Viewers will have to make crucial decisions at key moments across the eight episodes; whether Grylls succeeds or fails each adventure is in your hands.

“I’m about to embark on one of my most epic adventures, and this time you’re going to be in charge,” Grylls says of the new series in the first trailer.

“So get packing, get ready, because every jungle, desert, mountain that I’m in, every decision is your decision. You’re going to dictate what I do.” 

Netflix has previously experimented with adult-focussed interactive experiences, most notably the Black Mirror episode “Bandersnatch”. 

You vs Wild reaches the streaming service on 10 April.
