Release date
'Alaskan Bush People' Season 12 will premiere on August 23 and a new episode of the show will air every Sunday at 8 pm ET/PT only on Discovery Channel.
Plot
According to a press release from Discovery, "It's a race against time as the Browns attempt to build the centerpiece to their growing ranch during the worst winter conditions since leaving Alaska. As the family struggles to protect themselves, their animals, and critical infrastructure from the extreme freeze, a new member enters the family as brother Gabe welcomes his first child to the wilderness."
"While facing a brutal winter that threatens the family's progress on the entire ranch, the Browns are more determined than ever to protect their dream. In an effort to keep their parents in the bush amidst Billy's health concerns, the kids join forces to complete a two-story cabin that will be home for Billy, Ami, Noah, Rhain Alisha, Eli, Gabe, Raquell, and their new baby. But with the foundation started late, the siblings must build a mega bonfire in an attempt to unfreeze the frozen ground."
It further added, "Gabe grows into his role as a protector as he becomes a dad and learns to ride a horse to scout the property. Bear re-immerses himself in the wild as he struggles to cope with a devastating breakup. Noah gets inventive and builds the family's first tractor snowplow and Bird takes her leather-crafting skills to a whole new level. Battling extreme weather and new life changes, the Browns put their family bond to the test as they race to complete the cabin."
Cast
The family is headed by Billy and Ami, the patriarch and matriarch of the Brown clan. Their children Joshua 'Bam Bam', Bear, Gabe and his wife Raquell and their baby, Noah and his wife Rhain Alisha and baby Eli, Amora Snowbird, Rain 'Rainy' and the family's canine Mr Cupcake complete the wolfpack. Billy and Ami also have another son named Matt who has stopped appearing on the show after he'd started to notice himself "spiraling, making bad choices and drinking with friends" while spending more time in Juneau, Alaska, according to People.
