Everything you need to know about Australian Survivor 2025.

Grab your torches, we're heading back to the land of scandal, scheming and wild challenges. Yes, I'm talking about the return of Australian Survivor.

This year, the Channel 10 powers-that-be are gracing us with two different seasons of Australian Survivor.

The first, Australian Survivor: Brains V Brawn, will premiere on February 17 and introduce us to a whole new cast of contestants hoping to be crowned Sole Survivor.

The Second, Survivor: Australia V World, will drop in the second half of the year and promises to bring back old favourites allegedly including Shonee Bowtell, George Mladenov, Luke Toki and David Genat.

What are the Australian Survivor 2025 themes?

Australian Survivor: Brains V Brawn is the 10th season of the current Australian spin-off. The show returns to our screens in February, with our favourite host Jonathan LaPaglia at the helm. Once again, 24 contestants will be split into two tribes that pit brute strength against mental agility.

At the end of the battle, one Sole Survivor will be awarded a whopping $500,000 cash prize. And then, we'll do it all again!

2025 also promises a special edition of Australian Survivor which will stand apart from the regular seasons.

Survivor: Australia v World is an All-Star themed season that will see returning contestants from all around the world competing against our favourite Aussie survivors.

Since the news was announced, the question on everybody's lips has been the same: who will be competing on Survivor: Australia v World in 2025. Luckily for you, we might just have an idea of who we will be seeing. 

From a four-time Aussie Survivor veteran to an American contestant who is one of the only people to ever win the show twice, we have all the details on the upcoming cast of Australian Survivor 2025. Check it out here.

Where is Australian Survivor 2025 filmed? 

Having filmed all across Australia, in Fiji, and Vanuatu, in 2025 both Australian Survivor: Brains V Brawn and Survivor: Australia v World were filmed in Samoa.

Compared to previous seasons that typically run for over 40 days and feature 24 contestants, Survivor: Australia v World  reportedly only takes place over 14 days, with a total of 16 contestants. A source told Yahoo Lifestyle that while this season may have a shorter run, it is going to be the "most thrilling season" yet.
