Survivor South Africa is coming back in 2022, and so are some former castaways, as M-Net confirms the popular reality series will return for a ninth season.

The announcement was made via the official SurvivorSA Twitter account, which stated, “a drift of former outcasts will re-ignite their flames – and play the world’s greatest game all over again.” The accompanying video includes clips from past seasons, while host Nico Panagio promises that the returning castaways will have a chance to re-write their history.

In a statement to News24.com, broadcast company MultiChoice said, “In 2022, Survivor SA returns for its 9th season – and this time, the greatest game on earth will see a cast of returnee outcasts who were outwitted and outplayed on previous seasons battle it out to outlast and become the Sole Survivor. These players, who never made it to the final Tribal Council, all have a score to settle. Get ready for Survivor SA: Return of the Outcasts – on M-Net in July 2022.”

Survivor SA, which finished airing its eighth season, Immunity Island, in September, recently sold Seasons 6, 7, and 8 to Australia (10Play), the UK (Amazon Prime Video), and USA (Viacom/Paramount+).

It is believed that the upcoming season will once again film domestically in South Africa. There is no word yet on which former castaways will be returning for Survivor: SA: Return of the Outcasts.

  1. Omg bring Chappies back Immunity Island had the premiere episode on my birthday & episode 13 on my dad’s birthday he would have been 48 I was rooting for him all season & after winning evey individual immunity & then to lose the win that mattered & place 3rd I was so upset

  2. I’m really keen to join…I know Paul from last season and I’m a leader that people follow…also likable but most of all im a huge fan of the show from the USA version and the Aussie dudes lets get a south african in there to flip the script

  3. Aww no former FTC participants. I really wanted Nicole Capper to play again.
