This is going to be an epic season!
It’s official, 2025 is the year to be an Australian Survivor fan because Channel Ten has confirmed the full contestant list for Australia v The World and we couldn’t be more excited!
Some recognisable faces from the previous seasons of Australian Survivor will head to Samoa once again, joined by players from Survivor US, Quebec, South Africa, New Zealand and Finland.

All of these contestants have returned to the game in hopes of being crowned the Sole Survivor and take home a cash prize of $250,000.
In a short competition, the 14 contestants will compete on Survivor Australia v The World for 16 days, premiering on Sunday August 17, 2025 at 7pm on Ten.
The contestants will have an interesting game on their hands, particularly with The Golden God, David Genat returning. David competed in the 2019 season, but he most recently made history by winning the largest cash prize ever award on Deal or No Deal Island.
And it wouldn’t be Australian Survivor without returning host, Jonathan LaPaglia. However, this upcoming season will be Jonathan’s last time hosting as Channel Ten has confirmed his shock axing.
