The production of 7 vs. Wild has secretly launched a new series and most people will have missed it. The first episode already shows how harmoniously the filming takes place.
What kind of series is this? 7 vs. Wild has long consisted of the main series and the “Behind the Scenes” format “Behind The Scences”, where viewers are taken to the extraordinary filming of the series and given insights into the preparations.
However, the production has now created another series. It currently doesn’t have a proper title but shows further unreleased scenes from 7 vs. Wild Amazonas. However, these are not recordings of the participants, but footage that was originally shot for the “Behind The Scences” format but didn’t make it into the series.
Even Jens “Knossi” Knossalla was once a participant of 7 vs. Wild:
The “secret” series
Where can you watch the series? The series is a Reddit exclusive. This year, 7 vs. Wild has teamed up with Reddit to show some episodes of the exclusive show there. They are published as posts on the official 7 vs. Wild Reddit and can only be viewed there.
When and how many episodes there will be is currently unknown. Only one episode has gone live so far, giving viewers an impression of the series, and fans like it.
What is the first episode about? In the first episode of the Reddit exclusive series, viewers meet a man named “Beleño”. He rents his boat to the production for the filming and is a good acquaintance of host Hervé Neukomm.
If you think this is a quick procedure like car rental, you are mistaken. Before the boat is rented, they first talk, show all the features of the boat, and of course, grill and drink beer. Making deals in Leticia is still not done through automated processes.

How is the new series being received? The episode is well received by users on Reddit. It is well known that “hardcore fans” are very active there, who know everything about 7 vs. Wild and even find out the location months before the announcement.
The expanded insight behind the scenes fits well with the users of the internet forum, and they praise the insights and are happy that the excerpts have been shown. The first episode of the mini-series primarily makes a friendly impression and conveys to the viewer that both sides are happy to collaborate.
7 vs. Wild is not only an adventure for the participants but also for the production team, which is involved in the preparation and planning for months.
The regular episodes of the “Behind The Scences” series already show how differently the filming takes place compared to a studio production. In the first episode of the regular behind-the-scenes format, the producer talked about the exit of founder Fritz Meinecke: Producer of 7 vs. Wild talks about the exit of Fritz Meinecke, reveals what has been learned from him
