Alone: Frozen Episode Guide: Every Episode, Recapped
2026-07-01
Spoiler note: this covers the full spin-off, including who won and every tap-out along the way.
Alone: Frozen ran 8 episodes on History from August to September 2022, dropping six returning contestants from prior main-show seasons onto the coast of Labrador, Canada, with a fixed 50-day target instead of last-one-standing elimination. Five of the six contestants tapped out before day 50. Here's every episode.

A different clock than the main show
The format is the thing to understand before watching: instead of the usual last-one-standing structure, Frozen set a fixed target of 50 days, with the $500,000 prize to be split among however many contestants actually reached it. That changes the strategic math from the main show's slow attrition, since reaching the same finish line together (in theory) was possible right up until Michelle Finn's day-38 exit left Woniya Thibeault to finish alone. It also leans harder on trapping, foraging, and shellfish gathering than the main show's big-game hunting drama, since the six-person returning cast spent most of the season on rabbit, fox, mussels, and sea urchins rather than large kills.
Where to focus a rewatch
Episode 8 is the essential hour for Woniya Thibeault's historic win, and episode 7 is worth it for Callie Russell's tense empty-trap tap-out right before the two-person finale. Because the entire cast is returning contestants, the season lands better if you already know their original runs; see the Alone: Frozen hub for the full roster and stats.
