How to Watch the Series Alone

Updated on 2023-09-25 By Heather C. Jackson

A group of 10 people in wilderness gear stand in a remote stream

The hit survival series Alone comes back with a fresh set of challenges and dangers for its 10 participants. The contestants are dropped in a remote wilderness in North Saskatchewan and must survive in total isolation with only 10 items of their choosing brought with them. Hunger, loneliness, and the elements, not to mention possible local wildlife, are among the challenges that stand between them and the $500,000 cash prize. This article will show you how to watch this season of Alone even if you don’t have cable.

Frndly TV is the most affordable way to watch Alone. They have History Channel and other channels like Game Show Network, Hallmark Channel, A&E, and The Weather Channel.

  • Unlimited DVR recordings. You can keep recordings for 3 Months.
