All Of The New Faces & Returning Players On This Year’s Australian Survivor: Redemption

It’s that time of the year where we get to see a bunch of folks outwit, outplay and outlast. Here’s the full cast of Australian Survivor: Redemption.

 

After giving us two delectable seasons of Australian Survivor in 2025, the reality TV gods have blessed us with a completely new era of the beloved game show.

Not only are we getting new castaways, sprinkled in with some familiar faces, but we’ve also got a new version of the show (the Redemption part) and a new host, David ‘Golden God’ Genat.
