How to watch âI Survived Bear Gryllsâ series premiere, where to stream
The all new new reality competition series I Survived Bear Grylls is set to premiere on TBS Thursday, May 18 at 9/8c.
According to TBS, the new TV show is hosted by famous survivalist Bear Grylls along with co-host and comedian Jordan Conley. The two test five “wannabe” survivalists with extreme, gross and hilarious challenges based on Bear’s own adventures.
During the first episode of the new series, an obsessed superfan tries to be the first to survive and win the $10,000 prize.
Those without a regular cable subscription can still watch the series premiere live with Sling or DirecTV Stream. If you’re unsure which streaming service to use, we can break it down.
What is Sling and DirecTV Stream?
Sling is considered one of the cheaper live streaming services available. It offers three different channel packages for its users: Sling Orange, Sling Blue and Sling Orange + Blue.
Sling Blue and Sling Orange are both $40 per month, but offer different channel selections. TBS, however, can be accessed with both of these channel packages.
The main difference between the two packages is simply the line of ESPN channels offered with Sling Orange as opposed to channels such as Fox News, MSNBC, Discovery and Bravo offered with Sling Blue.
Meanwhile, Sling Orange + Blue is simply both packages combined for $55 a month.

DirecTV Stream is meant for those looking for an alternative to regular cable, but with more channel options.
At $64.99 a month, its base package comes with a little over 75 live channels after its free trial. Those interested can check out all of DirecTV Stream’s channel packages here.
