Mumbai: A+E Global Media Group has announced a partnership with Arré Studio to bring the global hit survival format Alone to India for the first time. The announcement was made by Arré Studio CEO Namit Sharma and A+E Media Group’s Asia-Pacific content sales director, Amreet Chahal.

Alone, described by The New Yorker as ‘the best reality show ever made,’ challenges contestants to survive in the remote wilderness without any external help. Each participant must rely on their survival skills, mental resilience, and resourcefulness to source food and water, build shelter, and endure increasingly harsh weather conditions. With no camera crew, contestants self-film their journey throughout the experience.

“Alone is an incredible, ambitious format, gripping audiences the world over. We’re excited to be bringing it to India,” said Sharma. “Our audience loves captive reality shows and Alone is a uniquely dramatic and challenging format. This partnership with A+E is a mark of Arré’s commitment to bringing the best international scripted and unscripted formats to our clients and audience.”

“A+E is thrilled to be partnering with top producers Arré Studio,” said Chahal. “Alone is an awe-inspiring test of the power of human spirit, set in stunning unspoiled wilderness. We can’t wait to bring this to an Asian territory for the very first time”

Alone first premiered on A+E’s The History Channel US in 2015, and has now run for eleven smash hit seasons with a twelfth season in production. Alone Denmark has aired for eight seasons, and three new European adaptations of the format are shortly to be announced. Alone Australia has been the highest rating original commission in the history of the network channel SBS, and a third season will premiere in 2025.
