Holly Willoughby's Celebrity Bear Hunt faces cancellation after one season

News summary

Holly Willoughby's Netflix reality show Celebrity Bear Hunt, co-hosted with Bear Grylls, faces possible cancellation after just one season due to high production costs, despite positive critical and audience reviews. Netflix is reportedly considering significant budget cuts, including reducing talent salaries and seeking a cheaper filming location, as the original Costa Rican jungle setting proved costly. The show featured 12 celebrity contestants and included high-drama moments, such as interior designer Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen losing consciousness during a challenge. While Netflix executives were pleased with the show's creative performance, initial strong ratings declined, and producers are debating whether a second series is financially viable. If recommissioned, the next season would likely involve fewer celebrities and a less expensive location. Netflix has not officially commented on the show's future.
