2015 · 13 episodes

Following complaints about the absence of women in the first series, two groups, 14 men and 14 women, were left on two separate islands for six weeks.

1The Men's IslandThe men swim ashore. Hammered by a succession of tropical storms, they must find a safe place away from deadly scorpions, snakes and caiman crocodile. And less than a week in, a fierce row breaks out.
2The Women's IslandBear Grylls abandons 14 women on a desert island in the Pacific. As night falls on Day 1, they make camp in the jungle - at the mercy of deadly creatures and voracious sand flies.
3The Men's IslandThe men have barely slept or had a real meal since landing. And a bitter rivalry between the island's two builders, Paul and Andy, has turned into all-out war.
4The Women's IslandThe camp has split in two and is dangerously low on water. As the main group head into the jungle, looking for lost members, they're in for a nasty surprise.
5The Men's IslandThe men come face to face with a fearsome predator. And, as the group's body weight and energy levels plummet, there's division and conflict in the camp.
6The Women's IslandStarving and seriously dehydrated, the group leave camp looking for water. They find two pigs, but can't agree whether to adopt them, or eat them.
7The Men's IslandThe men build a raft to go fishing. But, as Vic gets dragged towards razor-sharp rocks, he faces a life and death struggle to turn the raft around.
8The Women's IslandThe extreme conditions are taking their toll, with the women on the brink of starvation. Lauren, Beth and Belinda go pig hunting in the jungle.
9The Women's IslandIt's almost four weeks into the experiment and the women are entering dangerous medical territory. They're given a 36-hour deadline to turn things around.
10The Men's IslandMalnourished, exhausted and under pressure, the group turn on each other. Vic and Sam argue, while a fishing venture goes disastrously wrong for Will.
11The Women's IslandHunger and disorganisation is causing the group to fragment. Lauren and Beth make a push for leadership but Jaime and Belinda push back.
12The Men's IslandAfter five weeks on the island, the men are low on food and energy. They make a last bid to hunt for food before Bear arrives to take them back to civilisation.
13Surviving the IslandBear meets the men and women who made it through six weeks on a Pacific island, to see how they coped battling hunger, thirst, and each other, in one of the biggest tests of their lives
