Thursday, March 7 is shaping up to be a landmark date for the upcoming edition of Survivors. As explained by Carlos Sobera, that day will kick off what promises to be the fiercest survival reality series on air, bringing together a diverse group of celebrities from various genres and formats for an endurance-filled competition.
The show is hosted by the charismatic Jorge Javier Vázquez, who will guide viewers through a journey packed with demanding challenges set along the Honduran coast. Following Lara Álvarez’s departure from Mediaset in the previous cycle, the hosting team expands. Jorge Javier will share presenting duties with Sandra Barneda, Sobera himself, and Laura Madrueño, delivering a dynamic on-screen presence for the new season.

The confirmed lineup includes Arantxa del Sol, Arkan, Javier Ungria, Kike Calleja, Ángel Jesús, Lorena Morlote, Blanca Manchón, and Zayra Gutiérrez, among others—a mix designed to spark intrigue and anticipation across a broad audience in North America and beyond.

Exclusive details were shared by Algo Pasha TV, highlighting Ibarguren’s background in survival-themed situations and signaling tense, emotionally charged moments for fans. His participation underscores the season’s aim to blend athletic grit with strong personality clashes, a combination that tends to drive memorable television.
Ibarguren himself expresses a candid commitment: “I’ll need all the support I can get. What you’ll see from me is a fully real experience. I’m a true survivor, and I don’t mind running along the beach in a loincloth—this is where I belong.” His words set an anticipatory tone for viewers, hinting at the raw, unfiltered moments to come during the Honduran testimonial of endurance.
The series is bringing together a wide spectrum of competitors, alongside promises of even more extreme trials and the seasoned guidance of Jorge Javier Vázquez.

The result is expected to be a television experience filled with surprises, suspense, and real emotion as contestants face the unpredictable landscape and tests ahead.
In addition to the main series, Telecinco is developing a special all-star edition of Survivors that will feature celebrated contestants from earlier cycles. This follow-up is planned to premiere once the celebrity edition concludes, offering fans a chance to revisit favorite players and new allies in a fresh competitive setting.
Survivors is confirmed to travel to the island this year, signaling a return to the classic format that fans have come to expect while incorporating new faces and updated social dynamics that resonate with audiences across Canada, the United States, and other markets.
