‘Alone’ Season 8 Preview
“Alone” is back, sending 10 contestants out into the unforgiving wilderness to see who will survive the longest and emerge victorious, claiming the $500,000 prize.
The press release teases:
This season, 10 contestants fight to survive in the Canadian wilderness on the shores of Chilko Lake, British Columbia – a location with one of the densest grizzly bear populations on earth. Survivalists are dropped off in undisclosed, remote locations and equipped with just ten 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.
Season eight of “Alone” sets the stakes higher than ever before in the most dangerous location yet. Survivalists must build their own shelters, forage their own food, and overcome numerous obstacles and dangerous predators in hopes of being the last person standing. Never before have contestants come into such frequent contact with the fierce and territorial grizzly bear, until now.
“’Alone’ has always been a hit series for The History Channel, but this past year it has particularly resonated with audiences now-more-than-ever as we’ve watched survivalists endure total isolation through their ingenuity and mental willpower,” said Eli Lehrer, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming for The History Channel, in a statement. “This new season will continue to authentically feature the grit of human endurance and challenge viewers to look at the outdoors – and their own backyards – a bit differently.”
The season eight premiere is titled “The Hunted” and its description reads, “Ten new participants brave ‘Alone’s’ most terrifying location yet in pursuit of $500,000; one participant is forced to make a life-or-death decision, and all must contend with Chilko Lake’s deadliest predator.”
Episode two, “Open Season,” airs June 10 and its description reads, “More participants begin their fight against the land’s harsh conditions and its abundant grizzly population; one survivalist builds a unique shelter, while another is tested by the treacherous waters of Chilko Lake.”
“Alone” airs Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on The History Channel.
