Nightmares of Nature: Lost in the Jungle – Review | Netflix

NIGHTMARES OF NATURE: LOST IN THE JUNGLE on Netflix is Season 2 of the documentary-style horror story for the whole family. It’s still very scary, and Maya Hawke continues as a wonderful narrator of this dark fairytale featuring heroes and monsters. Read our Season 2 review of the series titled Nightmares of Nature: Lost in the Jungle here!

NIGHTMARES OF NATURE: LOST IN THE JUNGLE is on Netflix with a new story for the whole family. Or rather, just as it was the case with season 1 of the horror-styled nature documentary, it does get dark and scary, so do watch it with the younger family members.

Actually, some older (even adult) family members could need some company. If you enjoyed the first season of Nightmares of Nature featuring the story “Cabin in the Woods“, then I cannot imagine you won’t love this one as well.

Three new heroes… and lots of monsters

Just like in season one, Cabin in the Woods, Nightmares of Nature season 2 ultimately revolves around something man-made. Sure, it’s called “Lost in the Jungle”, but it’s about a lab built in the middle of the jungle. A place where our heroes will be drawn (or chased) to seek sanctuary.

Speaking of our heroes, for Nightmare of Nature‘s second season, we get three new jungle-based animals as our heroes. First up is a young opossum, who finds himself suddenly on his own. And yes, the circumstances around this are brutal, so try to prepare yourself.

Second is a newborn iguana, just out of his shell, trying to survive along with his siblings. Finally, the third hero is a tiny jumping spider. Just as the mouse from season 1, she is also a mother. Or rather, she is about to become a mother, which results in danger for herself.

However, monsters are all around them. Lots and lots of monsters, who might stop our heroes as they try to survive another day.

Danger is… everywhere!

The danger for all three heroes will come from all sides and sources. Some of the dangers, you might guess. Others come out of the blue. The jungle has a lot of monsters. Though really, they could all be heroes in another story, as every single one of them is just trying to survive themselves.

Sure, horror movies are scary and can be cruel, but nature is relentless and brutal.

Survival is never easy, and each day is a struggle. One we get to experience from a whole new angle on Netflix with Nightmares of Nature. And yes, in many ways, season 2 does feel even darker and scarier, so if season 1 was tough to watch, this could be even tougher.

Watch Nightmares of Nature: Lost in the Jungle on Netflix now

After watching the first season of Nightmares of Nature, I have been anticipating (and dreading, a little bit) what season 2 would offer. It certainly isn’t less scary. However, much of that has to do with the setting; It just feels like the jungle is even more terrifying!

I absolutely loved that a spider was one of the heroes, instead of playing the villain role as we’ve seen in so many horror movies. Hey, I love a good spider horror movie (or shark horror movie, for that matter) as much as the next. But I also recognize the importance of spiders in our world.

I am hoping for many more seasons of this new horror documentary about the wonders (and horrors) of nature. Maybe in the ocean or somewhere cold?! The possibilities are endless, and I do hope they’ll keep Maya Hawke as the narrator as well. She is brilliant!

Nightmares of Nature: Lost in the Jungle is out on Netflix from October 28, 2025.
