Season 13 of the acclaimed survival series ALONE raises the stakes like never before — crowning the first-ever World Champion. For the first time in the series' history, ten elite survivalists from around the globe will be dropped deep inside the Arctic Circle, along the unforgiving Richardson Mountains of Canada's Northwest Territories. The land offers opportunity — fish, hare, beaver, even moose — but every resource must be earned in brutal conditions. As winter tightens its grip, contestants will battle extreme cold, relentless isolation, and the constant threat of grizzly bears and wolves. Armed with only ten self-selected items for survival, the participants must self-document their journey building shelters and obtaining food while facing total and complete isolation. Whoever survives the longest takes home the coveted $500,000 prize. This is survival on an international stage, where reputation, legacy, and national pride are on the line. No camera crews. No gimmicks. ALONE is the ultimate test of human will.
