Bear Grylls to front new NBC series

Bear Grylls is to front a new ‘extreme adventure’ series for NBC.

Get Out Alive is the host’s first US television project and will test teams of two “beyond their most extreme imaginations in the wild”.
The show is expected to debut in Summer 2013 running for eight episodes.

Grylls revealed:  “Get Out Alive will be raw, tough and unrelenting, but it will also inspire and teach the essentials that one day may just save your life.
“The goal is to empower people with the ultimate in both survival and teamwork, and that brings incredible reward… but first there must be some pain.”

Grylls is best known for his Discovery series Born Survivor, known as Man vs. Wild in the US.
