Netflix Renews Outlast for Season 4, Back to the Panamanian Jungle
Netflix has renewed its survival competition series Outlast for a fourth season, sending the show back to the jungle. A renewal means the streamer has committed to making another season. Deadline reported the news on 10 November 2026.
The new season will be filmed in the Panamanian jungle. Sixteen strangers will compete for a $1 million prize. Survival competitions drop people into a remote place with little more than their wits and each other, and the last team standing takes the money.
The season also carries a second name. It is counted as season two of Outlast: The Jungle, the jungle-set run that premiered in June. That run opened with its first six episodes on 10 June and closed with a two-part finale on 17 June.
Team Alpha won that run. Maddy Jones, a photographer from West Virginia, and Nikki Hru, a boxer born in Florida, took the top prize. Their win came in the series' most recent completed run, and the new season will be the show's second trip to Panama.
Outlast began in a very different landscape. The first two seasons were filmed in Alaska, on Chichagof Island, west of Juneau, and at Little Duncan Bay, southwest of Petersburg. The move south to Panama came with season three, and now season four keeps the show in the tropics.
The series is made by BBC Studios and Jason Bateman's Aggregate Films. Mike Odair is the showrunner, the person who oversees the day-to-day creative running of a show. Executive producers Jason Bateman, Michael Costigan, Emma Ho, Ryan O'Dowd and Krystal Whitney share the producing credits with Odair.
For the crews, a renewal means jobs and a schedule to plan around. For viewers, it means another season to watch and another team of strangers to follow through the jungle.
