Surprisingly early, the creators of 7 vs. Wild announced the new season 6 with a hype trailer. For the fans, it is clear that this time it is about more than just the candidates.
What does the trailer show? The new trailer, released by the creators of the show on February 16, 2026 on YouTube, does not yet show any new scenes from season 6. Given the timing and the parallel airing of the Swiss season of 7 vs. Wild, it is clear that the series has not yet been filmed.
Accordingly, the trailer only shows a compilation of scenes from past seasons with little information about the new season 6.
In the new trailer, Knossi is also prominently featured again:
New season raises high expectations
What is known about the new season? The upcoming sixth season of 7 vs. Wild will be released as usual in autumn 2026 on Amazon Prime. A few weeks later, the show will also air on YouTube for those who do not have a Prime subscription.
In a related press release, the creators of the show explained that the exact filming location has not yet been determined. The seven participants are also set to be announced only in the coming months.
About the new season of 7 vs. Wild, apart from its existence, not much is really known. However, this does not prevent fans from arriving with high expectations for the new season.
What are the fans expecting? The previous season 5 of 7 vs. Wild was marked by the departure of the founders and stood in a poor light for that reason alone. While the season was supposed to serve as a harmonious counterpoint to the conflicted group in season 4, the view counts on YouTube were lower than ever.
However, this is likely also due to the fact that the format of isolating the participants as a group was far from a highlight for viewers. Accordingly, fans have repeatedly expressed their displeasure in recent months about the decline of the series.
The comments on YouTube clearly reflect this mood:
- @Bodo1844: “The survival show – this time the format itself fights for survival.”
- @vondenes: “Trailer already cooler than the entire season 5”
- @michaelhuck1204: “Please no group isolation”
- @phloHbaeLI: “I’m ready to give it a chance, but if it turns into another group mess, I’m out immediately.”
The last comment received a heart from the official account of 7 vs. Wild. Whether this already confirms that the creators want to isolate the candidates individually this time remains unclear.
Even without the original founders of 7 vs. Wild, the series continues. Just before the release of the new trailer, one of the founders of the show broke his silence and talked about the reasons for the exit: Creator of 7 vs. Wild reveals the true reasons for the exit, explains how he will move forward in the future.
