“Australian Survivor” is going international.

In early 2025, the long-running reality TV show will air a special season on Network 10 that features fan-favorite castaways from various countries around the globe. Set to participate in this first-of-its-kind competition are Australia, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa and the United States. It’s the Olympics of “Survivor”!

“Australian Survivor vs. The World” reportedly filmed in Samoa and takes place over 15 days with 16 total contestants. That’s a sharp decline from the average Down Under installment, which usually lasts for a whopping 47 days and features 24 cast members. (But hey, beggars can’t be choosers!) More details will be added soon, but right now we know the identities of the first six castaways.

Representing Australia: “King” George Mladenov, Shonee Bowtell and Kirby Bentley.

Representing the U.S.: Cirie Fields, Parvati Shallow and Tony Vlachos.

Actor and TV personality Jonathan LaPaglia returns as the show’s resident torch-snuffer, who notably closes out each episode with the same iconic catchphrase as America’s host Jeff Probst: “The tribe has spoken.”

Here in the United States, the 47th season of “Survivor” debuted on Wednesday, September 18 with a two-hour episode featuring 18 brand new castaways being stranded in Fiji. During the premiere, Jeff delivered an inspirational speech after a contestant appeared to be giving up at a challenge. “You fight until I snuff your torch,” he declared. “That goes for everybody. You’re all going to feel down. He’s just the first. This is why you’re out here. You want something soft? Pick another show. ‘Cause you are on ‘Survivor.’ That’s a badge of honor.”
