NEW! Is Alaskan Bush People Fake? Does It Matter?
Viewers of Discovery Channel’s Alaskan Bush People have been wondering if the four episodes of the Brown family’s adventures in the wilderness are all they’re going to get. The new show Siberian Cut takes over the Tuesday night time slot and no new episodes of Alaskan Bush People are currently scheduled.
[Update: A new episode of Alaskan Bush People, titled “The Wild Life,” premieres Sunday, June 15, at 10pm ET/PT on Discovery Channel. Based on the show’s description, it sounds like it might be a highlights/recap/additional unaired footage type of show: “After facing unparalleled obstacles, the Browns reflect on their past year of living in the Alaskan Bush while providing surprise revelations about the family’s lifestyle.”
Last seen, the Brown family suffered another setback as the boat they were using to scout a new home in southeast Alaska hit an object, took on water and sank at the dock. The family made it off the boat safely, but were left with an uncertain future.
They can’t possibly let the show end like that, can they?
Well, the news here is that there is no news. According to a Discovery Channel spokesman, the network has not announced whether or not Alaskan Bush People will be returning.
As for the Brown family, all nine of them were in Los Angeles in January for the Television Critics Association Winter Press Tour and were on a panel to promote the show, which at the time was scheduled to air on Animal Planet. (So no, they didn’t starve or freeze or anything after their boat went down in Episode 4.) You can learn more about them and see some pretty interesting photos of the family at their official website. Also, do read this article by Zaz Hollander of Alaska Dispatch, who did some investigating into some of the behind-the-scenes aspects of the show that have been debated in these recaps.
At the panel, Billy Brown summed up the origin of his family’s Alaskan adventure as well as how the TV show came into existence:
“I was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and my family died when I was 16, and I kind of hit the road. When Ami and I got together, we traveled all over the place, and we found that as we were going places, we never were really content where we were. We kept getting we’d go to the country, and it wasn’t really enough country. We kept getting deeper and deeper in, and then, when Alaska opened up to us, it was like a it was like a ready made home to us. And when we got up I have written children’s books for my kids and stuff and a book about my life, One Wave at a Time, and our guys went in when you go to the harbor shacks and stuff, we get Internet every once in a while, and our guys went in, Bam especially, and he put a website for the kids’ books. And through that, a guy got in touch with us, and we ended up here. And I am the one that didn’t want to come. …
This is, you know, not what we had planned. We spent 30 years of our lives trying to stay as far away from this kind of stuff as we could, and people. And we discussed it a lot, and I guess … it was Ami that really talked me into it more that we thought it would be cool if people could really see how we live because I don’t think you guys know people who really still live that way, because it’s not a movie. It’s us.”

Bring back the show! Im from Québec, Canada and my family enjoyed every minute of it, thank you.
I enjoyed watching the Alaskan Bush People. They really captured your attention. The details were marvelous. The Browns are truly a respectable family. It was a show that kept you glued to the TV. Very. Informative. Please continue their story. Bring them back.
Please bring back the Brown family. This was a great show. And ofcoarse if you put something on the air with no sex, murder, or adultery. It gets cancelled. Bring it back please.
Wow 5 episode? Really? Why was it canceled? It wasnt the show. You got yourself a gold mine…it was the marketing of it that is poor.
Please bring the Alaskan Bush People back on.
We just loved the Brown Family. Please bring this show back
Wife and I love this show, right behind duck dynasty,
please bring show back…thanks
please bring back the show it was the only reality show id watch
Just like TV to exploit a perfectly beautiful family for entertainment and then have it backfire because we related to them better than snotty real estate agents with $3000 shoes. The Browns don’t sell the fantasy, they just hit home with most of us. Most of reality TV that’s successful are the ones with regular, hard working common folk…does misery like company and maybe we secretly enjoy their struggle parallels ours? Add a dash of hope for them and then we are hooked.
The show was refreshing, real (in my opinion) and left MANY questions lingering. The network is making us sweat it out and I’m sure the sponsors are putting throats for their commercial spots.
“Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.”
Bring them back!!!!
Bring them back!
Discovery you dropped the ball on this one…..
Please bring back Alaska bush family the Browns. I looked forward to there show every Tuesday. And you can’t end it on a cliff hanger. Like where did they go after they lost everything. Did they find a place to live a way to make money and feed they’er family.

I wish Iwas 35 years younger and could meet the boys and start a family in the bush. Work hard ,live simple and a tight family life . What could be better then that! Bring back the show!!!!!!!!!!!!Bangor Pa.
Please listen to the audience members who want You to bring us more episodes about the Brown family. I don’t know why so many of us can relate to them. Maybe it’s because their lives are more realistic when it comes to subjects like being broke, not having enough food to feed your family or facing the true ‘reality’ of being homeless. I think many of us look up to real people who when faced with harsh realities show their true character strengths, without embarrassment. This family shows how real love can bind them together & it brings them inner strength & fortitude. Please bring back the saga of the Brown clan. ThanX!
bring back alaskan bush people
best show ever
bring back the Bush People, great show next to Duck Dynesty
