Life Below Zero: First Alaskans dropped on NatGeo on May 30, 2022 and viewers loved the spinoff right away. But days before its premiere, the network announced plans for a second season.

Alan Eyres, senior vice president of production and development for National Geographic, said in a statement to Deadline that the "resilience and spirit of the individuals who survive and thrive in one of the harshest and most beautiful environments in the world" is at the center of the series.

"With this second season of Life Below Zero: First Alaskans, we are honored to have been given the opportunity to capture more of the daily lives, cultures, customs and traditions of our Alaska Native cast members and allow our audience to hear more of their stories," he said.

The first season has at least six episodes. And with the quick success of the show so early in its inaugural season, it wouldn't be surprising to have a longer second season.
