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.
