Indian weightlifter Mirabai Chanu’s dream of clinching a second successive Olympic medal was dashed as she finished fourth in the women’s 49kg event on Wednesday.
The most dangerous reality show that tests people’s survival skills in actual scenarios is back with a second season. Outlast Season 2 will premiere its first six episodes on September 4, and the final two installments will be released on September 11 on Netflix, revealed exclusively by Entertainment Weekly.
The sixteen contestants will be dropped off in the Alaskan wilderness, where they must survive extreme conditions like freezing temperatures with no food and minimal supplies. The show allows people to play the dirty game by ruining other contestants’ comfort and forcing them to quit—which they can do by lighting a flare into the sky.
Last season, one of the four teams pitted to outlast the other stooped to their lowest, risking their competitors’ lives by stealing their sleeping bags, forcing them to unwillingly quit rather than risk hypothermia by sleeping outdoors in freezing temperatures.
Two female contestants ransacked a player’s shelter and demolished his raft. The sleeping bag theft was on a roll with nefarious activities and tormented his former team by destroying their tarp.
The show’s executive producer, Grant Kahler, admitted to EW, “It was shocking, for sure.” He also revealed that the incident compelled the production team to step in and separate people because they were “so angry and so heated.” Kahler added that for the sake of safety, they had to slow down and “reassess what was going on.”
The trailer for the second season confirmed that treachery is the spirit of the game, and contestants will take all measures to win the million-dollar prize. “Let’s go trash their entire camp,” a voice said in the trailer. Contestants were heard discussing the unfair nature of the game, “sometimes you got to be the bad guy” and “that’s the game — if you weren’t prepared, that’s not our fault.”
Showrunner Mike Odair told EW they tried to keep every element viewers loved in the first season. “This new cycle has bigger stakes, even bolder team dynamics, and storylines that really capture the human spirit within this intense and cold game of ultimate survival,” he added.
Varun Dhawan and his wife, Natasha Dalal, must be enjoying their new phase of life as parents. The couple welcomed their first child on June 3, 2024. Since then, the couple might be neck deep in diapers and burp cloths as they look after their child’s well-being.
While they have been enjoying being around their child like every other parent, the couple hasn’t stopped taking time to do things that they love. On August 7, Varun Dhawan and Natasha Dalal were spotted out and about Mumbai, heading to watch a movie together.
In a clip, the celebrity couple was spotted entering a famous cinema hall in Mumbai. For their movie date, the Bawaal actor went for an athleisure set in shades of green and white. With a matching cap and a pair of eyewear, he accessorized his look.

As for the mommy dearest, she went for an all-black comfortable co-ord set for the night. With a luxury cross-body bag and her sweet smile, she went inside the venue. As the paparazzi followed them to get a picture of the couple, Varun shielded his wife from the crowd, ensuring she was comfortable and safe.
Nearly nine weeks ago, the excited new dad took to his social media to announce the arrival of their baby girl. With a video announcing the date of her birth, the Bhediya actor wrote, “Our baby girl is here. Thank u for all the good wishes for the mama and the baby.”
Then, on Father’s Day this year, he dropped the first glimpse of their bundle of joy. He shared a picture of his baby girl holding on to his finger, followed by an image of him holding his pet dog’s hand.
In the captions, Dhawan wrote, “Happy Father’s Day. My father taught me that the best way to celebrate this day is by going out there and working for your family so Il be doing just that. Couldn’t be happier to be a girl dad.”
