Alone Season 13 Episode Guide: Every Episode, Recapped

Spoiler note: this covers what has aired of season 13 so far; no winner has been confirmed here.

Season 13, "Alone: World Championship," is the show's first international-format season: ten survivalists representing seven countries dropped along the Richardson Mountains inside Canada's Arctic Circle. As of our most recent verified source pass, three episodes had aired with confirmed plot detail; the remaining episodes had announced titles and air dates but no confirmed synopsis yet, so this guide covers only what's actually documented rather than guessing at what happens next.

Season 13's international format is its own story: the cast draws contestants like Australian SASR veteran Nero Buys, Portuguese Army paratrooper and survival instructor Clementino Pedrosa, and Slovenian PhD researcher Žiga Ogorelec, who runs his own bushcraft school. Alaska's Will Longley grew up in a traditional Iñupiaq hunting and fishing camp, and Wales representative Andrew Price spent three decades running a bushcraft school after an earlier career in BBC television production. Whoever ultimately outlasts the field becomes the first-ever declared Alone World Champion, on top of the standard $500,000 prize.

What's aired so far

"Worlds Collide: Part 1" opens the World Championship with all ten contestants, from Canada, Australia, Wales, the US, Slovenia, Portugal, and New Zealand, dropping into camp along the Richardson Mountains. Washington's David Young struggles from the start with being away from his wife and two young daughters, and taps out on day 3, the season's first exit. "Worlds Collide: Part 2" continues the premiere arc: one contestant gets an early opportunity at big game, while Dave Booth, who had already lost his primary fire source on day 1, accidentally burns his backup ferro rod and taps out on day 4 with no way to make fire. "Building Momentum" finds the remaining eight settling into longer-term routines; one contestant connects on a big-game opportunity and another benefits from a well-placed trapline, and for the first time this season, nobody taps out.

Why the guide stops at episode 3

Our source material for this season carries an explicit confidence note: episodes 4 through 7 had public titles and air dates at the time of research, but the network had only released short pre-air teaser copy, not confirmed plot content, so no recap exists here for them yet. Rather than invent what happens in "Cold Omen" or the episodes after it, this guide will get updated once verified recaps exist. For the season's full cast and any results that have since been confirmed, check the season 13 hub, and for how this international format compares to the show's usual single-country casts, see every team and format twist Alone has tried. If you want the show's history of early fire-related exits like Dave Booth's, how Alone contestants start fires (and what happens when they can't) covers it in depth.
