Alone
(Various Seasons)

Alone features 10 survivalists who are dropped off in undisclosed, remote locations and equipped with just 10 survival tools, and enough camera gear to self-document their experiences. The survivalist who endures the longest, facing total isolation, punishing weather, and deadly predators, will win the $500,000 grand prize.

No camera crews.

No gimmicks.

Alone is the ultimate test

of human will.

This season, 10 contestants fight to survive in the Northern Saskatchewan wilderness. Welcomed by the Woodland Cree First Nation and the governing bodies of Saskatchewan, shooting Alone along Reindeer Lake landed the newest participants in an extremely rugged and remote location among approximately 43,000 black bears, a strong wolf and moose population, and some of the largest fish ever caught on the show. The Arctic winds and the waves they produced along with cold and snow of a true Saskatchewan winter put the grit of the participants to the test.
