With the word 'thirst' appearing in two of the episode names of this 10-part season (see full schedule at the foot of this page), you immediately get the gist of what awaits the intrepid contestants heading to South Africa’s Great Karoo. The surroundings will be no less hostile than previous seasons, with vast expanses of snow and ice being swapped for hot, dry desert.

Outside of that, however, this is very much business as usual for Alone. A cast of 10 survivalists are dropped in the middle of nowhere, with just their wits, skills and barest of necessities. Whoever lasts the longest without either submitting or falling ill wins the jackpot prize of $500,000.

We’ve got all the information you need on where to watch Alone season 12 online and stream episodes no matter where in the world you are.

How to watch Alone season 12 online in Canada

Alone season 12 is being shown on History on Canadian TV, just like south of the border. The only difference is that it will go out at the slightly later time of 10pm ET/PT on Thursdays.

To watch Alone online, you can access History programming through the Global TV app. You'll just need your cable login details to do so.

Alternatively, you'll need subscription video streaming package StackTV. Probably the easiest way to get access to StackTV is through Amazon Prime Video. If you already have Prime, signing up to StackTV costs $14.99 a month after you've enjoyed the 7-day free trial.

From there, you can then watch on all the usual devices through which you'd normally watch Prime Video. So that's on web browsers, app for Android and iOS, Fire TV and a variety of other devices including PS4, PS5, Xbox, Roku and select Smart TVs.

Can I watch Alone season 12 online in the UK?

Alone season 12 will likely be shown on Sky History and the History Play channel on Amazon Prime Video in the UK – but not yet. Last year, season 11 began airing a couple of months after episodes went out in the US. So you might be waiting until August before you can start watching Alone season 12.

Visiting the UK and wanting to watch Alone Season 12? A good VPN will let US and Canadian residents access their usual streaming service effortlessly.
