Following the success of the season earlier in the year, the Australian Survivor is coming back with some of our favourite players returning for Australia v The World.
Familiar faces from past seasons of Australian Survivor are heading back to Samoa, and this time they are joined by contestants from Survivor US, Quebec, South Africa, New Zealand and Finland.
The 13th season comes hot on the heels of the explosive season that aired earlier this year, proving fans can’t get enough of the backstabbing, blindsides and alliances that make Survivor so addictive.
This season, the stakes are higher than ever, with the ultimate Sole Survivor set to walk away with a life-changing $250,000 prize. As well as the achievement of beating some of the world’s best Survivor contestants.
So, as we dive into this new season, we have put together everything you need to know and what to expect.
