The torches have been lit, and Australian Survivor is back on our screens. But, the one question that seems to be on everyone’s lips is, “Where is Australian Survivor: Redemption filmed?
Over the years Australian Survivor has been filmed in some idyllic locations, and judging by the scenery thats played out so far on Redemption, this season is no different.
So, if you’re wondering here Australian Survivor 2026 is filmed, read on to find out everything we know.
Where exactly was this year’s Survivor filmed?
This year, Survivor: Redemption has set up camp in the breathtaking landscapes of Samoa, where 20 “newcomers” are joining forces — and clashing — with 4 returning castaways over 45 gruelling days.
As we know, Samoa is made up of two main islands, Upolu and Savai’i, which makes it tricky to pinpoint the exact stretch of sand where this season was filmed. With sweeping beaches, harsh jungle and dramatic coastlines as the backdrop, viewers will just have to keep watching closely to guess which corner of Samoa is playing host to all the blindsides and betrayals.
Where have the past Australian Survivor seasons been filmed?
Over the years, Australian Survivor has been filmed in a variety of breathtaking locations. The first season, released in 2002, was filmed in Whaler’s Way, in the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia. In 2006, the show returned for a celebrity edition filmed on Efate, an Island in the Shefa Province of Vanuatu.
The franchise was rebooted in 2016, hitting the shores of Upolu Island in Samoa, where it remained for the next two seasons. In 2018, Survivor: Champions V Contenders and All Stars were filmed in Savusavu, Fiji.
2021 marked a major shift, with Brains V Brawn set in the Queensland outback in Cloncurry, followed the next year by Survivor: Blood V Water in Charters Towers, Queensland.
For the following four seasons, Heroes V Villains, Titans V Rebels, Brains v Brawn II and Australia V The World, filming returned to Upolu, Samoa, continuing the trend of tropical island challenges and dramatic tribal councils.
