Alone

Alone UK is a British survival reality television competition show based on the original U.S. show of the same name and has aired on Channel 4 from 6 August [2] [3] to 10 September 2023. [4]

Contents

It follows the self-documented daily struggles of 11 individuals as they survive alone in the wilderness for as long as possible using a limited amount of survival equipment. The participants are isolated from each other and all other humans, with the participants having to self-document and film their experiences themselves. They may "tap out" at any time or be removed due to failing a medical check-in. The contestant who remains the longest wins a grand prize of £100,000. [5]

On 17 April 2024, Channel 4 confirmed the cancellation of the programme after airing just one series. [6]

Reception

The second episode debuted on Channel 4's catch-up service straight after the first episode aired on television and received 40.3 million streaming minutes by the end of 2023. [7]
