Bear Grylls has teased that Celebrity Bear Hunt, his divisive series hosted with Holly Willoughby, could return to Netflix for a second season — with a difference.
Season 2 hasn't officially been confirmed, but Bear is confident that it could be. And if it does get the renewal, he's got an idea about how he wants it to happen.
"God willing, we're just sort of figuring that out at the moment," he told Dermot O'Leary on BBC Radio 2.
"We're hoping we're gonna do it live, so it's going to be like a live version, which Netflix has never done before. It'll be super cool. Raw. Real. Hunt them down!"
Season 1 of the show featured a host of celebrities, including Spice Girl Mel B, Strictly Come Dancing's Shirley Ballas, Taskmaster's Joe Thomas, and eventual winner Big Zuu, in the Costa Rican jungle.

They were all tasked with evading capture, which was easier said than done when the hunter was none other than Bear himself.
Speaking about Big Zuu's win, Bear said: "I like seeing the journey in someone. I like seeing nature change people's hearts.
"He started off all over the shop really, with how he operated with everyone, his own little things, he was so nervous, but he was smart. And he grew, and he realised, sometimes you gotta really dig deep and be positive..."

"There was some really great people by the end of that, and Holly was so fun to work with," he continued.
"I've never had that before, you know, really working alongside someone like that, and she's been heaven. She hasn't had an easy journey. What a great girl, she did brilliantly, she really did."
Critics didn't have the same level of fondness for the show, and it currently stands with a 40% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Viewers gave it a slightly higher score, with 50%.
