With the ‘new vs old’ dynamic in play, tensions will rise between well-known legends and ambitious newcomers, each with something to prove.
Who are the contestants of Australian Survivor 2026?
This season of Australian Survivor 2026 will see four players returning: Harry “Dirty Harry” Hills, Simon Mee, Brooke Jowett, and Mark Warnock.
In the sneak peak for the series, it appears that Simon and Harry are in an alliance. However, their plans to take over the tribe may be derailed by some fierce fresh faces.
The other players in this season include a cast of reality tv stars, professional athletes and strategic newcomers. The list includes names such as Johnson Ashak, Cat Hooker, Jackson Goonrey and Ben Nabea Davis.
Where was Australian Survivor 2026 filmed?

Alongside this new location, there will also be fewer non-elimination episodes and a live finale, marking the first since the travel restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Who is the host of Australian Survivor 2026?
Former ‘All stars’ winner David Genat will be the new host of this season, replacing Jonathan LaPaglia and promising non-stop action and betrayal.
“I was in awe of the ruthless gameplay,” he revealed in the teaser for the show. “The players had something to prove, and they all wanted it. Nothing was going to get left out on the sand.”
While the new host promises fresh drama and first-hand experience of the game, fans have expressed concerns over the awkwardness of LaPaglia’s axing, and whether Genat will insert himself into the game.
I guess we’ll just have to watch the show to see if Genat has the skills to not only win the game, but host it!
