(New York, NY) – New dudes.  New locations.  This season, it’s a total game changer when Discovery’s hit survival “game” DUDE, YOU’RE SCREWED returns on Wednesday, October 29^th at 9pm ET/PT.

Unprepared and left to fend for yourself, what would you do if you were captured, blindfolded and taken to an unknown, remote location? Viewers are about to find out as these incredibly talented survivalists attempt to prove they have what it takes week after week as they play this “game” that puts all of their skills to the ultimate test.

The world’s most elite survivalists are back, and are bringing some new friends.  Returning this season are Green Beret Terry Schappert, UK Royal Air Force extreme survival instructor John Hudson, primitive skills expert Matt Graham, and former Navy SEAL Jake Zweig.  Joining the returning vets are newcomers Casey Anderson, a world-class wildlife tracker and conservationist, Chris Swanda, an experienced backwoods survivalist, and Tim Smith, a bushmaster Registered Master Maine Guide.  Will the newbies have what it takes to play the game with the big boys?

Here’s how the game works: Each survivalist is captured one at a time by a handful of the others. He has no idea what's coming -- the capture could take place anywhere and at any time: on the way to work, in the middle of the gym, at a coffee shop.  The dude is then dropped in one of the world’s harshest environments where they have 100 hours to make it back to civilization. And while this trek home is happening, all the other guys will be monitoring their target’s progress (and vital signs) from a command center nearby. 

It's man against nature as each action-packed, dramatic episode of DUDE, YOU’RE SCREWED crisscrosses the globe -- from Tanzania to Transylvania to Nicaragua, and more -- to match wits in this game of survival. Reputations and bragging rights are on the line — and there'll be at least one epic fail. Do these guys have what it takes to survive the ultimate challenge?
