Alaskan Bush People is an American docudrama-style reality television series that follows the Brown family in an attempt to survive in the wilderness, detached from modern society. The series premiered on the Discovery Channel on May 6, 2014.[1] Filmed on location in Alaska near Copper Center, Hoonah, and Chichagof Island,[2] with later seasons filmed on location in Okanogan County, Washington, it follows the extended Brown family's life.[3][4] Although purportedly a genuine reality TV show, it has been criticized for being scripted and/or fake.[5][6][7][8]
In April 2019, Radar Online learned that the show was renewed for a 10th season.[9] On November 13, the show was renewed for season 11, which premiered on December 4, 2019.[10] Season 12 premiered on August 23, 2020.[11] In August 2020, cast member Bear Brown posted on Instagram saying that the family's home had been destroyed in the 2020 Washington wildfires.[12] Patriarch Billy Brown died at age 68 on February 7, 2021, after suffering a seizure.[13]
