For a long time, there was silence about the fourth season of 7 vs. Wild. Now it’s known which participants will join the new season.
How were the candidates announced? With one day’s notice, the official Instagram account of 7 vs. Wild announced a YouTube video featuring the participants for 4:00 PM on August 20. However, at 4:00 PM, the YouTube channel was silent.
Shortly after, an announcement followed that the upload of the video would be delayed. At 4:10 PM, however, the video indeed went live on YouTube with all the candidates.
This year, the candidates were not officially nominated but were selected behind the scenes, just like in the first season.
One of the seven participants is the streamer LetsHugo, you can learn more about his success here:

Which participants are taking part? The fourth season of 7 vs. Wild will feature seven candidates instead of 14 like last year. These seven participants are:
- Survival expert Joe Vogel
- Comedy influencer Selfiesandra
- Outdoor expert Joey Kelly
- Twitch streamer LetsHugo
- Outdoor influencer Stefan from Survival_Deutschland
- Fitness influencer Flying Uwe
- YouTuber Julia Beautx
This year, there is no wildcard participant, as in previous years. The candidates are mixed as in the past, ranging from seasoned professionals to complete beginners.
Leading up to the announcement, all of the now revealed candidates were already under discussion. Some candidates were considered more certain by the community than others. However, other potential candidates were also discussed. You can learn more about this here: 7 influencers are currently missing, and fans believe it is due to the new season of 7 vs. Wild
New season without founding father Fritz Meinecke?
When the participants were announced, the founder of the series did not count himself among the participants. He may not be participating this year. However, as further information about the season is still lacking, it is unclear whether he will appear in another role in the series.
It is clear: He is officially not a participant of 7 vs. Wild and hence for the first time in history not taking part. The reasons for this are not yet known, but in the past, there were already many conflicts with the new production company that has acquired the rights to 7 vs. Wild.
