Each celebrity will have one stand-alone episode in which he or she will be partnered with Grylls one-on-one.
The celebrities will visit the jungles of Panama, the Italian Alps, the Colorado Rocky Mountains, and the Red Rocks of Utah, as Grylls attempts to push the stars' minds and bodies to the limit in order to successfully complete their journeys and tackle their deepest fears -- from skydiving to repelling.
"It has been such a privilege to adventure alongside these iconic men and women -- and this season has made for some unforgettable journeys," Grylls said in a statement.
"The excitement of being dropped into uncharted territory and tackling the wilderness head-on, in the way we do, can be both daunting and very draining, but it is also very empowering when we finally make it out in one piece. Along the way we get to see the stars we love in a totally authentic way as they face a few demons and come through it stronger. And that's the beating heart of Running Wild."
Grylls also recently starred on NBC's Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls reality series and serves as host and executive producer of The Island.
Running Wild with Bear Grylls is produced by Electus and Bear Grylls Ventures. In addition to Grylls, the show is executive produced by Ben Silverman, Chris Grant, Laura Caraccioli and Viki Cacciatore.
