New Celebrity Treasure Island to Launch

Castaways revealed for TVNZ’s Treasure Island: Fans v Faves

Celebrity Treasure Island is back, but like you’ve never seen it before! The epic treasure hunt is headed back to where it all began, with the castaways setting up camp in Fiji when the show makes its debut on Monday 30 January.

But, for the first time in Treasure Island history, a team of celebrity castaways made up from seasons past, will go head-to-head with a team of super fans of the show – this is Treasure Island: Fans v Faves!

From watching at home to competing in real life, the Fans are ready to take their passion for the show to the next level and take on the team of returning celebrities.

The two teams of eight will face-off in a battle of epic proportions, but who will have the upper hand? The Faves have all played this game before, but the Fans have watched their every move.

From fan-favourites, strategic masterminds, a mother-son duo and a two-time Treasure Islandwinner, to a team of everyday Kiwis ready to put their bodies and minds on the line for a show they love, Treasure Island: Fans v Faves is about to turn the game as we know it on its head.
