As Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn II wraps up, fans won’t have to wait long for their next hit — Survivor: Australia v The World is right around the corner
For the first time in history, Australian Survivor is dropping two seasons in one year, and the second — Australia v The World is a special edition that includes returning Australian and international cast members.
The new season will star some very well-known American players, as well as contestants from South Africa, Norway and New Zealand, who will face off against some home-grown faves.
Here’s everything you need to know about Survivor: Australia v The World.
When does Survivor: Australia v The World air?
Channel 10 hasn’t released the official air date for Survivor: Australia v The World yet, but South African publication Cape Argus has reported that it will premiere on June 22.
Back in February, Australia v The World contestant Parvati Shallow let it slip that the new season would air mid-year when asked about whether she’d sign up for another season in the future.
“I’m going to say no. After I just played Australia Survivor v the World, which will air in July, I’m done,” she replied.
“Five seasons of Survivor is so much Survivor, and it just changes your brain. I’m good, I’m done, that’s it for me.”
We’ll wait for an official date from Channel 10 before we get too excited, but it sounds like we can expect Survivor: Australia v The World to air after MasterChef Back to Win finishes airing.
Who’s in the Survivor: Australia v The World cast?
The most recent returning Australian player is fan-favourite castaway Kirby Bentley, who appeared in Australian Survivor 2024, otherwise known as Titans V Rebels.
Mark Warnock, who competed against Kirby on Titans V Rebels and came third place in the season, told Chattr that he believes she has what it takes to take on the big international players on Australia v The World.
“Survivor Australia V The World demands that we send our best and brightest and there is no-one better than Kirby,” he said.
“With her natural charisma, cheeky personality and bombastic gameplay, I’m backing her to beat the world’s best.”
Along with Kirby, two other cast members who will be on the Australian team for the upcoming season have been announced. They are Shonee Bowtell (Champions v Contenders, All Stars, and Heroes v Villains) and George Mladenov (Brains v Brawn and Heroes v Villains).
Three other contestants who’ve previously played the American format of Survivor have also been confirmed for the international team. Cirie Field (Panama, Micronesia, Heroes vs. Villains and Game Changers), Tony Vlachos (Cagayan, Winners at War and Game Changers) and Parvati (Cook Islands, Micronesia, Heroes vs. Villains and Winners at War) will all be donning buffs again.
While the rest of the cast hasn’t been officially confirmed, there’s been some rumours flying around about who they are. Find out more about the leaked Australia v The World cast members here.
