Publish Date: Thursday, 27 April 2017, 8:30AM

Survivor New Zealand is about to hit our screens for the very first time! It will be kicking off on Sunday May 7 at 7pm on TVNZ 2. Split into Tribes, our Kiwi Survivors will spend up to 40 days in a Nicaraguan jungle, filled with diverse and dangerous wildlife, battling it out in an ultimate test of endurance, strength and strategy.

Each week, the Survivors compete in Reward and Immunity Challenges, with weekly eliminations by vote at Tribal Council, until there is only one 'Sole Survivor'.

The winner will walk away with a life-changing experience, a cash prize of $100,000, and the coveted title of New Zealand's first Sole Survivor.
