LOUISVILLE, COLORADO: On September 4, 'Outlast' Season 2 will premiere, introducing a fresh cast of adventurous men and women prepared to endure the harsh Alaskan environment. At the beginning of the 'Outlast' Season 2 teaser, one of the competitors reads the rules of the survival show to the other competitors.

The audience is then introduced to Emily Johnston, a data analyst who instructed students in a variety of survival skills, such as survival in frigid climates and navigation. As the tides drag her out and carry her farther from the coast, she is seen rowing across a lake and straining to reach the other side. Emily admits that her life is in danger and that one of the other competitors doesn't think she has what it takes to escape.

Emily Johnston's survival skills make her fit for ‘Outlast' Season 2

Emily, a resident of Boulder, Colorado, has completed two courses in navigation and survival in frigid weather. She now possesses a great deal of physical and emotional resilience as a result.

Emily is prepared to compete in 'Outlast' Season 2, with the hope of taking some cash home thanks to her additional advantage—her proficiency with flint and steel. In the 'Outlast' Season 2 teaser, a player acknowledged that "money can make people pretty evil."

Viewers will therefore be able to witness if Emily engages in ruthless tactics to eliminate her group's rivals.
