Naked and Afraid of Love
Sunday, August 22
Today’s dating world has become filtered -- through the clothes we wear, personas we share online and the preferences we can set before we even begin swiping. But what if the filters, pressures and often unrealistic standards of modern dating were completely stripped away, and we were left only with our most primal wants and needs? In an all-new discovery+ series, Naked and Afraid of Love, 16 naked strangers ready to find love will strip down and bare it all - on an unforgettable island in paradise -- to answer these questions and more in the ultimate challenge that blends survival, romance and everything in between.
