Kate Winslet, Kate Hudson, Jesse Tyler Ferguson to appear on 'Running Wild with Bear Grylls'

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif., May 9 (UPI) -- Kate Winslet, Kate Hudson, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ed Helms and Drew Brees are to appear on this summer's edition of the adventure series Running Wild with Bear Grylls, NBC announced.

Also featuring Michelle Rodriguez, James Marsden and Michael B. Jordan, Season 2 of the hourlong show is to debut on the network July 13.

"Each of these eight accomplished actors and athletes will partner with Grylls for two days for a one-on-one adventure they will never forget," a news release said. "This season, the series will take viewers from the jungles of Panama to the far reaches of the Italian Alps and then to the Colorado Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Red Rocks of Utah. The intrepid cast members will face their deepest fears and tackle everything from skydiving to repelling as they journey through some of the world's most unforgiving wildernesses."

"It has been such a privilege to adventure alongside these iconic men and women -- and this season has made for some unforgettable journeys," Grylls said in a statement. "The excitement of being dropped into uncharted territory and tackling the wilderness head-on, in the way we do, can be both daunting and very draining, but it is also very empowering when we finally make it out in one piece. Along the way, we get to see the stars we love in a totally authentic way as they face a few demons and come through it stronger. And that's the beating heart of Running Wild."
