Smash-hit survival series Alone Australia drops its highly anticipated fourth season into its most ambitious location yet, plunging 10 brave souls into the brutal, yet spectacular wilds of the Arctic Circle. Deep in the northernmost reaches of S pmi, Finland, they face a gruelling survival experiment where the subzero landscape grows deadlier by the day.

Premiering with a double episode on Wednesday 15 July at 7.30pm on SBS and SBS On Demand, the Arctic Circle isn't just a change of scenery for the format, it completely transforms the survival game.

With the stakes higher than ever, participants are equipped with Arctic-elevated gear and new additions to their 10 chosen items as they battle subzero temperatures, extreme calorie deficits, imposing predators, and the psychological toll of total Arctic darkness.

The groundbreaking signature of Alone remains: there is no camera crew. Each survivalist is a lone filmmaker documenting their own descent into the Arctic winter. Every frozen tear, every frost-nipped digit, and every hallucination born of the darkness is captured. This is an immersive, intimate look at the human spirit stripped to its most primal state.

As each participant reaches the absolute threshold of their physical and mental limits, they will exit one by one. It's a raw and unforgiving test of human endurance, where the last person standing will claim a life-changing $250,000 prize.

Set against a breathtaking backdrop of dancing Northern Lights, this season delivers a brand-new spectacle of bushcraft, ingenuity and survival. Thrust into an unfamiliar Arctic environment, participants must navigate unknown flora, risky first-time foraging challenges, where a single mistake identifying fungi could turn a life-saving meal into a lethal one, and rapidly dwindling resources all while coexisting with formidable predators.

Alone Australia S4 is more than a survival experiment; it is a powerful testament to human resilience. Set on the ancestral lands of the S mi people, the season honours their enduring connection to this sacred environment and the knowledge required to survive within it.

This season celebrates grit on an entirely new scale, asking the ultimate question: How long can someone from the southern hemisphere truly survive the Arctic depths of the northern hemisphere; in the freezing cold, relentless darkness, and completely, utterly ALONE?

SBS Head of Unscripted Joseph Maxwell said: Alone Australia is the most successful original show in SBS history. It's real, unfiltered and authentic. Season four takes the series into bold new territory, with the Arctic Circle delivering new challenges, survival firsts, incredible shelter builds and some truly shocking moments.

ITV Studios Australia's Chief Content Officer, Beth Hart, said: Taking Alone Australia S4 to the Arctic Circle was a massive escalation in both production and survival stakes, and the results speak for themselves. This season is visually spectacular, emotionally visceral, and brutally hostile. Our amazing participants were brave, ingenious, vulnerable, honest and innovative in equal measure, making this season the most authentic, compelling, and shocking yet.

Alyce, 36

Aboriginal Community Engagement Senior Advisor, WA

Hailing from the coastal suburbs of Wollongong, this second-generation Lebanese Australian brought a background in science to the wild, where she found her true calling later in life. Once she discovered the outdoors, she launched headfirst into a lifestyle of relentless adventure and high-altitude trekking, trading her busy urban life in WA for the challenges of the natural world. Alyce approaches her preparation with the same meticulous, scientific enthusiasm that defines her career, ensuring every aspect of her training is calculated and precise.

With a resume that spans the globe, Alyce's physical resilience has been forged on some of the world's most demanding trails. From the Larapinta and Bibbulmun tracks in Australia to Everest Base Camp and the Canadian Rockies, she has even undertaken mountaineering training with the Indian Military in the Himalayas. This vast trekking experience is matched by her skills as an accomplished coastal and freshwater fisher, well-practiced in both fly and lure crafting. She sees fishing as her superpower going in and looks forward to sustaining herself using the proven freshwater fishing skills she has harnessed over intercontinental fishing escapades.

Now a guide who leads rookies into the wilderness through her own trekking business, Alyce is a master of preparation. From her backyard in Perth-shared with her three birds, Mr. Beaks, Pickles, and Eshay-she has refined her bushcraft, shelter planning, and gear kits to a science, ensuring she is ready for the total isolation ahead.

For Alyce, the Alone challenge is an opportunity to break barriers and serve as the outdoor inspiration for ethnic girls that she never had growing up. While she dreams of using the prizemoney to expand her business and tackle the Pacific Crest Trail, her deepest motivation is to prove that the wild belongs to everyone.

I'm not a typical contender for Alone, purely because I came into the outdoors a lot later in life compared to a lot of other people, but I've immersed myself fully in survival experiences and adventure as soon as I did I know can do this!
