The world-renowned survival extraordinaire, Bear Grylls, is back in the brand new 'Bear Grylls: Escape From Hell' where he will apply his expertise one step further by pitting himself against real-life dangers faced by ordinary people stranded in devastatingly dire situations in the world's most desolate landscapes. The six-part series will air every night at 9 PM, starting March 9, on Discovery Channel.

Coupled with incredible archive footage and intimate interviews with the survivors – including a British scientist who was lost, and alone, in the deep jungles of Malaysia – Grylls will show how they survived by attempting to recreate and reliving their fateful journey through firsthand experience and demonstrating the best possible strategies for survival.

Join Bear in the gripping six-part series as he risks his life by trekking in the shoes of these amateur adventurers across the most inhospitable locations on Earth and through the harshest weathers, dissecting and analysing the survival techniques they employed and providing expert advice and tips on what could have been done to completely elude or alleviate the severity of these unfortunate circumstances. From a plane crash in the Amazon, to remote crevasses of the European Alps, scorching North African desert and more, Grylls will toss himself into the same unforgiving landscapes where these incidents took place and attempt to live, sleep, survive and navigate to safety.

Rahul Johri, SVP & General Manager, India, Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific, said, “Bear Grylls: Escape From Hell presents Bear Grylls taking on bigger challenges as he throws himself into the harshest of situations using his vast knowledge of life-saving techniques. An extremely thrilling series, it will attract high appointment viewing from both men and women.”

“In this new format series, viewers can also look forward to more inspiring stories of endurance and persistence from the iconic explorer," Johri added.

While each landscape presents its own unique set of challenges, they also share universal themes of survival, hydration, shelter, warmth, food and navigation. Grylls uncovers how each survivor cheated death using ingenuity and persistence to ensure they had at least one of these necessities. Along the way, he demonstrates crucial life-saving skills that can be easily executed by inexperienced adventurers, including drinking the blood of a snake for crucial hydration in the scorching desert, minimising loss of mobile phone battery charge by warming it underneath your armpits, hunting tarantulas in the jungle for vital caloric intake, creating tepee shelters from tree branches, fighting off frostbites by creating improvised hot water bottles with zip lock bags and your pee, amongst others!
