Is Jonathan LaPaglia returning to Australian Survivor?

Australian Survivor is reportedly on the chopping block at Channel 10 and is being eyed by a rival community, with a need to take it again to its glory days.

According to sources, the beloved present is on the middle of a dramatic behind-the-scenes energy play.

It is allegedly caught Channel Nine’s curiosity and has been pitched to the community by Endemol Shine. However, sources say that the community would have an interest below one situation – that Jonathan LaPaglia returns as his host.

“Nine loves the format, but they’re clear on one thing, JLP is part of their DNA,” an insider advised New Idea. “If the show moves, they want him front and center again.”

Fans have been devastated when the previous host revealed he was axed from the show last year. While David Genat changed him, there was a drop in rankings in the course of the Redemption season.

Even although the 2027 season goes forward, sources beforehand advised New Idea that David was reportedly locked in for two 2026 seasons, but the second was scrapped.

According to the present’s application page for the next seasonfilming will happen in Malaysia from mid-July to early September.

The season may probably be its final on the community.

“There’s a real sense this could be the last one for Ten,” a supply shut to manufacturing stated. “Once that season wraps, the door is wide open.”

The insider added that if secured by Nine, the community deliberate to revive the present with a refreshed technique.

“They want to bring it back to basics,” the insider defined. “Stronger storytelling, tighter casting, and a return to what made audiences fall in love with it in the first place.”

The query now’s whether or not the transfer would sign the top of Australian Survivor as we all know it or the start of a daring new chapter.

“This is a huge moment,” he says. “It’s either the end of an era… or the start of something even bigger.”
