Holly Willoughby’s TV show Celebrity Bear Hunt has reportedly been axed after just one series.
The Netflix show premiered earlier this year and followed 12 celebrities as they attempted to survive in the Costa Rican wilderness while avoiding being caught by survival expert Bear Grylls.
But now, it’s been claimed that the show has been axed by Netflix due to the amount of money it costs to make.

Celebrity Bear Hunt ‘axed’ after just one series
Celebrity Bear Hunt’s first series was met with praise by some viewers when it was released on the streaming service in February 2025.
Celebrities including Shirley Ballas, Una Healy, Danny Cipriani and Mel B took part in the gruelling competition – which was eventually won by TV star and chef Big Zuu.
However, fans hoping for a second series will be disappointed, as it’s been reported that Celebrity Bear Hunt has been axed.
“Everyone was very proud of the show. But when it came to it, it was just so expensive to make,” a source alleged to MailOnline.
They added: “You had to have a whole set in Costa Rica, loads of staff and loads of celebrities. The overheads were eye-watering.”
Apparently cheaper locations were looked at by makers of the show, however, nothing was deemed suitable.
ED! has contacted Netflix for comment.
