When is Bear Grylls' World's Toughest Race: Eco-challenge Fiji on TV?
Bear Grylls and 66 teams from all over the world are taking on their "toughest race" yet!
Bear Grylls is back with what may be his toughest challenge yet – at least if it lives up to its title, with the British adventurer travelling to Fiji from Amazon Prime Video's new series World’s Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji.
Spanning 10 episodes, the adventure series charts the ultimate expedition race – there are 66 World's Toughest Race teams from across 30 countries racing non-stop for 11 days – 24 hours a day! – with the World's Toughest Race route taking them across hundreds of miles of unforgiving Fijian terrain.
It's sure to be another smash hit success for Grylls, who's very much carved out a niche in this kind of pushed-to-your-limits programming. (Wondering how much cash it's made him? Here's what we know about Bear Grylls' net worth.)

This production changed the path of my life. I am so excited that we are bringing it back! Thank you to everyone who is part of it – the crew, athletes and the people of Fiji."
