<P> In January 2017, a Danish version of the series premiered with the name Alone in the Wilderness (Danish: Alene i vildmarken) on DR3 . It featured ten contestants and was filmed in northern Norway . Participants chose 12 items from a list of 18 . </P> <P> In the fall of 2017, a Norwegian version aired with 10 contestants spread around a lake with fish . It was near the tree line, so the few, small, mostly birch trees left few land resources . The last contestant tapped out after a little more than a month . </P> <P> The fifth season premiered on June 7, 2018 . </P> <P> Contestants are dropped off in remote areas of Northern Vancouver Island (seasons 1 - 2, 4), Patagonia (season 3) and Northern Mongolia (season 5), far enough apart to ensure that they will not come in contact with one another . The process begins in mid to late autumn; this adds time pressure to the survival experience as the approaching winter causes temperatures to drop and food to become scarce . Although terrains may differ in each contestant's location, the drop - off zones are assessed in advance to ensure a similar distribution of local resources is available to each contestant . </P>

When does the series alone start in 2018
