The Hollywood Reporter said:
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,â€￾ a network spokesperson tells The Hollywood Reporter.


A representative for Grylls confirmed that the Man Vs. Wild star has parted ways with Discovery.

"Bear's goal has always been to make life-empowering shows for his many fans around the globe, and he has taken great risks to bring Discovery such award-winning programming over seven seasons," said Heather Krug in a statement to THR. "Unfortunately, Bear and Discovery have not been able to come to mutual agreement on new programming, and he disagrees with Discovery's decision to terminate current productions. Bear has loved the Man vs. Wild journey and looks forward to producing further cutting-edge content again soon for his loyal audience."


I really liked the early seasons of Man vs. Wild, not as good as Survivorman but still good, but some of the recent ones haven't been as good where they show them setting up scenarios on camera for him to deal with, like a flash flood. I know that the whole show is set up but it worked better in the early seasons where we simply had the cameras following him and then he would show you how to deal with whatever he came across. In the end six seasons is still a good run and I am sure that back in England he will be able to find another tv show to work on.

It was a pretty interesting show when I watched it a few times, but I wasn't that big of a fan of it so it's no big loss for me.
