ICYMI, we’re getting not one, but two seasons of Australian Survivor in 2025, and the theme for both has been revealed.
On May 14, it was announced that we’d be getting the double-up season and that one of the themes would be Australia vs USA.
Now, Paramount has confirmed that the other, all-Australian 2025 season will have the theme of Brains vs Brawn.
“Australian Survivor season 10, filming in July, will see the return of Brains vs Brawn with all new players, confirmed by Senior VP of Programming at Paramount Australia Daniel Monaghan on a podcast today,” an account called Reality TV News/Updates Tweeted.

Has there been a Brains vs Brawn season before?
Yes! Back in 2021 the Australian Survivor theme was Brains vs Brawn and the cast included some iconic players like George Mladenov, Hayley Leake and Simon Mee.
The concept works by splitting the original Survivors into two teams; those who are considered mentally strong are on the Brains team while those physically fit on the Brawn team.
What about the second Australian Survivor 2025 season?
TV BlackBox reported that there will be two seasons of Australian Survivor in 2025, and said that the other theme would be USA vs Australia.
While nothing about the cast has been confirmed yet, fans are hoping it will include iconic stars from previous US and Australian seasons.
Survivor blog Inside Survivor confirmed the news and said that the idea has been in talks for the last few months.
“The idea has been in development over the past couple of months and is expected to feature iconic castaways from both Australian Survivor and Survivor US. However, casting is still in its early stages, and the theme is wholly dependent on being able to lock people down,” they said.
The publication mentioned that fans can expect a shorter than regular season than the regular Aussie season for Australia vs USA, which will air in January.
“Inside Survivor has also heard the season could be much shorter than the usual length of an Australian Survivor season, which tends to run anywhere between 47 and 50 days. This edition could potentially be half that, even shorter than the former 39-day standard,” they wrote.
