It follows the self-documented daily struggles of 11 individuals as they survive alone in the wilderness for as long as possible using a limited amount of survival equipment. The participants are isolated from each other and all other humans, with the participants having to self-document and film their experiences themselves. They may "tap out" at any time or be removed due to failing a medical check-in. The contestant who remains the longest wins a grand prize of £100,000.{{Cite web |last=Bulbul |first=Nuray |date=2023-09-11 |title=Who won Alone UK 2023? |url=https://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/alone-uk-2023-winner-tom-williams-b1106146.html |access-date=2024-01-02 |website=Evening Standard |language=en}}
