Genre: Docu-Reality, Nature
Deep in the Alaskan wilderness an incredible family was born and raised wild.
Billy Brown, his wife Ami and their seven grown children are so far removed from civilisation that they often go six to nine months of the year without seeing an outsider.
They've developed their own accent and dialect, refer to themselves as a "wolf pack," and at night, all nine members of the family sleep together in a one-room cabin.
The Brown family has been working tirelessly to ready North Star Ranch over the past year, embarking on a mission to build infrastructure and finally realise their legacy on the mountain.
This season, spring descends on North Star Ranch, as the patriarch and matriarch of the clan, Billy and Ami, push the next generation of the Wolfpack - Bam, Bear, Gabe, Noah, Bird and Rain - to strengthen their own footholds on the mountain to create a bigger, better, more sustainable version of Browntown.
The Brown family's quest to achieve their dream of a fully self-contained village is on the line. The homestead has a different dynamic this season with new wives and babies joining the family.
Brothers Gabe and Noah are settling down with significant others and beginning their journeys as parents in the wild.
Noah moves forward with his plans to build a home and bring Rhain Alisha and Baby Elijah back to the mountain while Gabe and Raquel prepare for a Bush wedding and the first granddaughter.
After meeting his 'bush princess', Bear begins dating which leads to big news of his own.
With more mouths to feed than ever before and depleted resources, the Wolfpack is forced to create a much more self-sustainable mountain, with power and water connecting each individual dwellings.
Just as the dream is within reach and each sibling has established his or her own distinct role in the community - father Billy is given a grave prognosis by doctors - his days may be numbered continuing his lifestyle.
Thumbing his nose at society, it's live free or die as Billy doubles down on the dream; and the family comes together in a final frenzy before winter to build Billy, Ami, and the new mini-wolfpacks a communal home in the middle of the ranch.
The Brown family will tackle new challenges like never before and every member of the Wolfpack must make valuable contributions to the homestead in order for the family to survive and thrive on the mountain.

TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Game Show, Quiz Show
Presented by duo Ant & Dec, this series features the world's first ever limitless jackpot and a money ladder that never... ever... ends.
Every question is an opportunity to climb the endless money ladder and reach the big money, but only a correct answer banks the cash.
Push their luck too far and they'll crash out of the game and lose it all.
Packed with drama, jeopardy and real emotion, it's quite literally the biggest prize ever conceived.
Two contestants (husband and wife, best friends, siblings, father and daughter) get an opportunity to change their lives forever.
Before they play for big money, they must first earn some lives.
To earn lives they face a series of quick-fire questions against the clock; each correct answer earns them five precious lives.
It's then time to face the limitless ladder.
The answer to every question is a number, the aim of the game is to get as close to the correct answer as possible... without going over.
If they go under the correct answer, they lose lives.
If they go over the correct answer, even by one, it is game over and they leave with nothing.
If they give a correct answer, they bank the last money amount passed on the limitless ladder.
They can leave the game with that money at any time by hitting the 'cash out' button.
But, if they 'crash out' before they 'cash out' they lose any money banked.
Correct answers also earn them five more crucial lives – these extra lives can change the game.
The limitless ladder has several lifelines hidden on it, these are unlocked as they climb.
These lifelines help the contestants in different ways, and some are more helpful than others.
Being close to the correct answer gets you up the ladder, but only correct answers get you rich.
