Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild is a television series on Channel 5 hosted by English adventurer Ben Fogle and produced by Motion Content Group and Renegade Pictures. The programme shows, in a series of unconnected episodes, Fogle meeting people who have adopted 'alternative' lifestyles that are primarily 'off-the-grid' in some of the more remote locations on Earth.
Fogle hosted a spin-off series in 2015 called New Lives in the Wild UK with families in British locations, while 2020's Ben Fogle: Make a New Life in the Country is of a similar premise. As of 2022, the UK-based programmes and Return to the Wild spin-offs have been brought under the main New Lives in the Wild name in the press, on EPGs and video-on-demand service My5, with these episodes not being part of a separate series. Episodes have been hosted on BBC Earth under the name Where Wild Men Are with Ben Fogle.https://player.bbc.com/en/brand/where-the-wild-men-are-with-ben-fogle/where-the-wild-men-are-with-ben-fogle-s7?_branch_match_id=727364244225572831

In each episode, Fogle immerses himself in their lives to explore their motivations and highs and lows, whilst living in tough and harsh conditions in the wild.
