The History Channel has set a June 8, 2023 premiere date for season 10 of Alone. The new season will air on Thursdays at 9pm ET/PT and will feature 10 survivalists vying to be the last person standing and collect the $500,000 grand prize.

Season 10 will feature James “Wyatt” Black (50), a business owner from Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada; Cade Cole (28), a professional hunting guide from Crowheart, Wyoming; Lee Ray DeWilde (59), a pilot from Huslia, Alaska; Mikey Helton (31), a carpenter from Rome, Georgia; and Luke Joseph Olsen (39), an entrepreneur and glass artist from Maui, Hawaii.

The new season also stars Jodi Rose (45), owner of Wild River Tables from Worland, Wyoming; Ann Rosenquist (56), an off-grid organic farmer from Northern Wisconsin, Melanie Sawyer (54), a living history teacher and founder of Wild Foods from Essex County, New York; Alan Tenta (52), a high school teacher from Columbia Valley, BC, Canada; and Tarcisio “Tax” Ramos Dos Santos (35), a direct support professional, musician, and homesteader, from Becket, Massachusetts and Sergipe, Brazil.

History released the following description of season 10:

“Dropped in Northern Saskatchewan, Canada – home to vicious predators including territorial black bear, wolves, and moose – the ten survivalists will compete with each other, endure bone-chilling temperatures and face off against some of the largest animals in North America in an effort to last for as long as they can. With just ten survival items per person and enough camera gear to self-document their experiences, this is the series’ toughest season yet. No camera crews. No gimmicks. Alone is the ultimate test of human will.”

The network also confirmed the items each survivalist is allowed to choose from this season, in addition to their clothing and personal effects. Each participant can select 10 items from the list, and they aren’t allowed to double up on any one item. They’re also only allowed to choose two food items to take with them into the wilderness.
