Season 1 filmed in the autumn of 2021 in Alaska, near Neka River, on Chichagof Island, west of Juneau.^[7][8] On May 15, 2023, Netflix renewed the series for a second season which filmed at Little Duncan Bay southwest of Petersburg, Alaska.^[3] Season 3 took place in Panama. For the third season, Team Alpha began with a hunting advantage and received three bows with arrows. Team Bravo had a fire advantage and made use of char cloths, and dry kindling. Team Charlie's advantage was having tarps, nails, rope, and paracord.

The Guardian's Lucy Mangan found the first season "completely addictive, ridiculous and great".^[11] The Age's Karl Quinn also noted the addictive nature of the series, but bemoaned the lack of clear rules in the competition, which in turn enabled players to cheat and potentially endanger other players.^[5] Andy Dehnart of Reality Blurred says "With no rules Netflix's Outlast spawns brilliant, odious, predictable play... (it's) an average survival show that has shocking but predictable behavior to get its $1 million prize."^[12]
