Surviving Mann is the ultimate test of strength, strategy, and survival.
Hosted by SEAL Team 6 veteran, extreme adventure champion, and New York Times best-selling author Don Mann, this high-stakes military challenge competition takes contestants to remote tactical training grounds, where they must battle for the chance to lead Don’s ultimate team on a mission drawn from his real-world Spec Ops experience.
Joined by celebrity co-hosts each season—like MMA legend Randy Couture, “America’s Sheriff” Mark Lamb, UFC Hall of Famer Ken Shamrock, and other elite military veterans—Surviving Mann pushes competitors from all walks of life to their limits in a relentless fight for the top spot.
Each season sees all new challenges plus the best of those that came before.
