What happens

Marooned with Ed Stafford is a documentary television series commissioned by Discovery Channel and produced by Tigress Productions, part of the Endemol Shine Group. Ed Stafford films the series, in which he journeys to remote destinations around the world for ten days each to see if he can survive there on his own in solitude with no clothes (first series only), no food, and no tools. He can only take his camera, an emergency satellite phone and an emergency medical kit. Stafford's goal is to see if he can not only survive, but thrive under these tough conditions. The first series, Ed Stafford: Naked and Marooned, sees Stafford spend sixty days on the uninhabited tropical island of Olorua in the Pacific Ocean. During 2024, Ed made references on his Instagram accounts of a new series, which was filmed during 2024 and was targeted for release on Discovery Channel for 2025. (This was later confirmed on social media, with the first new Episode of Series 4 being aired on 23 January 2025, at 9pm GMT). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
