The series places 16 players, initially split into four teams, in the Alaskan wilderness, where they must survive off the land with meager supplies. In season one, the players were described as "lone wolf" [[survivalists]],<ref name=tvguide1/><ref name=age1/> who were challenged to work in teams and not allowed to compete alone. Season two included a variety of occupations and personalities. Players can only leave the game by firing a flare gun, which is automatically triggered by emergency rescue or medical evacuation. The last remaining team of two or more people wins one million dollars. After a specific number of days have passed with only two teams, a navigation and endurance race is initiated to obtain the prize money.<ref name=ew1>{{cite magazine|url=https://ew.com/tv/outlast-netflix-reality-tv-villains/|title=Netflix's Outlast just introduced the biggest villains in reality TV history|magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]]|first=Dalton|last=Ross|date=March 10, 2023|access-date=March 12, 2023}}</ref>

16 players are dropped into the Alaskan wilderness and split into four teams. In order to earn a $1 million prize, they will attempt to outlast each other. There are no rules, and no end date, the only guidelines are that only one team will win, and contestants need to be part of a team to win. In order to leave, contestants either self-eliminate, or are removed for medical reasons. Once only two teams remain, the teams engage in a race/hike in order to win.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Donaldson |first=Laura |date=2023-03-14 |title='Outlast' producer hints at major Season 2 change following fan outrage |url=https://www.newsweek.com/outlast-netflix-season-two-jill-backlash-amber-another-series-new-episodes-1787596 |access-date=2023-03-16 |website=Newsweek |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Acosta |first=Nelson |date=2023-03-10 |title='Outlast' Ending Explained: Who Wins the Survivalist Competition? |url=https://fictionhorizon.com/outlast-ending-explained/ |access-date=2023-03-16 |language=en-US}}</ref>

Outlast is an American survival reality competition television series that takes place in Alaska. All eight episodes of the first season premiered on March 10, 2023, on Netflix.[1] It is produced by Aggregate Films and Nomad Entertainment, with Mike Odair serving as the showrunner, and Jason Bateman, Grant Kahler, Michael Costigan, Emma Ho, and Odair serving as executive producers.[2] In May 2023, the series was renewed for a second season.[3]

The series places 16 players, initially split into four teams, in the Alaskan wilderness, where they must survive off the land with meager supplies. In season one, the players were described as "lone wolf" survivalists,[1][4] who were challenged to work in teams and not allowed to compete alone. Season two included a variety of occupations and personalities. Players can only leave the game by firing a flare gun, which is automatically triggered by emergency rescue or medical evacuation. The last remaining team of two or more people wins one million dollars. After a specific number of days have passed with only two teams, a navigation and endurance race is initiated to obtain the prize money.[5]

Critical reception

[edit]

The Guardian's Lucy Mangan found the first season "completely addictive, ridiculous and great".[10] The Age's Karl Quinn also noted the addictive nature of the series, but bemoaned the lack of clear rules in the competition, which in turn enabled players to cheat and potentially endanger other players.[4] Andy Dehnart of Reality Blurred says "With no rules Netflix's Outlast spawns brilliant, odious, predictable play... (it's) an average survival show that has shocking but predictable behavior to get its $1 million prize."[11]
