The Expedition takes viewers on an extraordinary journey through two seasons of survival in some of the planet’s most extreme environments.
In Season 1, eight celebrities embark on an epic adventure across Greenland, braving the desolate Arctic Circle Trail in the depths of winter. Over 160 kilometers, from Kangerlussuaq to Sisimiut, they face bone-chilling temperatures as low as -40°C, pushing their physical and mental limits to discover what they’re truly capable of.
Under the guidance of a seasoned polar expert, the group begins with extensive training in Norway before facing the brutal reality of Greenland's unforgiving icy wilderness. Battling exhaustion, self-doubt, and the ever-present threat of nature’s fury—including a life-threatening blizzard—the expedition tests their endurance and teamwork. Despite these struggles, the group finds strength in moments of camaraderie and the simplicity of life on the ice.
Season 2 shifts to the searing heat of the Namib Desert, the oldest and most unforgiving desert on Earth. Here, eight new celebrities take on a grueling 200-kilometer trek, pulling heavy carts through one of the world’s most remote and hostile terrains. With daytime temperatures soaring above 50°C and survival constantly on the line, the group faces a relentless test of stamina, strategy, and teamwork in this unyielding wilderness.
