Alone Australia

Alone Australia is an Australian survival reality television competition series on SBS which premiered on 29 March 2023. It follows the self-documented daily struggles of 10 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 $250,000. In early 2022, an Australian version was announced by SBS following the success of the American version on the network and its streaming counterpart SBS On Demand. The series is produced by ITV Studios Australia, with the first season taking place around a remote lake in Tasmania's West Coast during winter 2022. The American version of the show also airs on Pay-TV channel A&E via Foxtel. An Alone pop-up channel began broadcasting on Foxtel on 24 February 2023 and ceased broadcasting on 20 March 2023. The first season was won by Gina Chick after surviving 67 days alone, making her only the second female and oldest contestant in the history of the Alone worldwide to win. The second season was won by Krzysztof Wojtkowski, surviving 64 days alone without eating meat. In June 2023, the series was nominated for the Logie Award for Most Outstanding Factual or Documentary Program, but it lost to The Australian Wars. Season 4 of the series was filmed in Sápmi, within the Arctic Circle in the far north of Finland and is set to air on 15 July 2026.
