HISTORY announces its newest series, “Alone,” the country’s boldest and longest survival experiment ever captured for television, slated to air this summer. The ten-episode series places ten hardcore survivalists alone in the Vancouver Island wilderness – no camera crew, no teams, no producers – on a single mission to stay alive. At stake is $500,000 awarded to the person who can last the longest. “Alone” will also air as a synchronized global TV event, airing in over 200 territories worldwide on HISTORY and other channels from the A+E Networks portfolio.
Carrying only what they can fit in a backpack, the survivalists are completely separated from one another in harsh, unforgiving terrain to hunt, build shelters and fend off predators. They will face extreme isolation and psychological distress as they plunge into the unknown, self-documenting their experience. “Alone” is the ultimate test of man’s will to survive.
“’Alone’ is a one-of-a-kind survival series, that pits people against the unknown in complete isolation,” said Russ McCarroll, VP Development & Programming, HISTORY. “Without producers or camera crews following their every move, the survivalist experts are truly going off-the-grid to persevere with endurance.”
“Alone” is produced for HISTORY by Leftfield Pictures. Russ McCarroll and Zachary Behr serve as executive producers for HISTORY. Brent Montgomery, David George, Shawn Witt, Grant Kahler and Gretchen Palek serve as executive producers for Leftfield Pictures.
