The 8th season of Survivor South Africa is coming to Australian streaming service, 10 Play, express from South Africa and will premiere from 3 June, at the same time as on M-Net.

“It’s a tribute to the quality of our show that Survivor South Africa: Immunity Island has been picked up – with the commitment to stream it in line with the SA broadcasts,” says Jan du Plessis, Channel Director for M-Net Channels.

Creative Producer & Series Director, Afrokaans Film & Television’s Leroux Botha says: “In Survivor South Africa our castaways push themselves beyond their limits over 39 days to outwit, outplay and outlast and has gained international traction on the back of our relatable characters, great storylines and excellent editing,” he says.
