Discovery Channel has terminated its relationship with Bear Grylls, the British television personality and star of the network’s Man Vs. Wild. The severing of the relationship, which began back in 2006 when Man vs. Wild
launched on Discovery, comes after the network has allegedly been
unable to get Grylls to participate in two unannounced projects he was
contracted for, say sources. The sixth season of Man Vs. Wild wrapped in August.
“Due to a continuing contractual dispute with Bear Grylls, Discovery
has terminated all current productions with him,” a network spokesperson
tells The Hollywood Reporter.
