IT’S A DATE! MEET THE SINGLES OF THE NEW SEASON OF LOVE TRIANGLE PREMIERING APRIL 6 ON STAN

WITH CHRISHELL STAUSE AS HOST OF THE FIRST EVER REUNION SPECIAL

March 12, 2025 – Stan has dropped the official trailer for the new season of the Stan Original Series Love Triangle - and it’s serving drama, romance, and a serious shake-up. Along with introducing five fresh singles ready to risk it all for love, the trailer also gives a glimpse at the show’s first-ever Reunion Special, hosted by Emmy®-nominated actress, reality star, and best-selling author Chrishell Stause. The new season kicks off with a double-episode premiere on Sunday April 6 on Stan.

From Endemol Shine Australia Director of Content Tara McWilliams (Married At First Sight), Stan's Head of Originals Amanda Duthie, and 9Network Executive Producer Andy Ryan, Love Triangle challenges a group of singles to relinquish their visual perception of the perfect partner and choose someone based on a deeper connection. In a ‘swipe left’/ ‘swipe right’ culture, often based on pictures alone, the bold dating show returns to test and push the boundaries of preconceived notions of modern dating like never before.

Five brave singles must choose from two potential suitors, sight unseen. Once they date their first pick, they move in together and build on the connection they’ve formed… until their second choice comes knocking… and the drama dials up as they embark on a highly unpredictable and explosive relationship journey filled with love, let-downs, betrayal and heartbreak.

In a Love Triangle first, the singles and suitors will return to take a look back on their dating experiences at the Reunion Special hosted by the one and only, Chrishell Stause - best known for her starring role in global hit reality real estate series Selling Sunset. There will be nowhere to hide as they are confronted with shocking truths, massive revelations and an opportunity to ask the hard questions.

MEET THE SINGLES

Ariana – 29, Executive Assistant / Wedding Pet Chauffer, VIC
Ariana isn’t here to waste time – she is keen to get married and have children and will even ask a man on the first date if they are on the same page! Loud and proud, you’ll know when Ariana is in a room by her voice alone. Often told by guys that she is ‘too much’, Ariana knows if they can’t handle her, they don’t deserve her. While she struggles to trust and can be jealous, she is fiercely loyal. Not one to shy away from the drama, Ariana is feisty and will call anyone out if she feels the need. She’s sick of dating walking red flags and is here to change up her usual type of the gym junkie, tattoo guy, to a dad bod – in the hope they will treat her better!

Bernie – 27, Business Analyst, VIC
Bernie first moved from Portugal to Australia to follow love. While the relationship has since ended, Bernie fell in love with the country – and the women! He gets along with women both romantically and platonically, boasting to have the gift of the gab when it comes to meaningful conversation. Bernie is charming and claims to have emotional maturity that many Aussie men don’t possess. He is looking for a girl who is equally as vibrant, can keep him on his toes, and isn’t averse to living life against the norm. Bernie admits that the endless options that come with modern online dating make it difficult for him to put his energy into one person. Love Triangle poses a new experience for him where he has no choice but to stay and work at a connection with someone – he hopes he might even find love during the process.

Chloe – 25, Nurse Manager, NSW
Chloe is an absolute ray of sunshine and a high achiever – currently studying two Master’s Degrees on top of a full-time job as a nurse manager. Chloe is bisexual and her last relationship left her heart broken after her fiancé abruptly ended their engagement. Since then, she is down the middle with dating a guy or girl; she’s just trying to find that elusive spark. Despite her bubbly nature, Chloe is oblivious to her own charm, often not realising when people are flirting with her. Never wanting to regret not taking a chance, Chloe is jumping into this experience and the opportunity to find her person – she just wants to feel fulfilled and loved.

Mike – 50, Videographer, QLD
Mike has been on a rocky road when it comes to finding love since he first graced our screens on Season 6 of Married at First Sight. As a 50-year-old single man, he knows he looks better than a lot of younger guys but still struggles on the dating scene. When given the chance, women discover him to be a kind soul, and while he finds himself a little lonely at times, Mike is a very happy dog dad. He’s keen to have a family of his own, even if that means becoming a stepdad. He believes he has grown since his MAFS days and become more self-aware – the concept of Love Triangle works for Mike, as he can focus on making a connection with someone before they judge him on his MAFS past.

Payton – 25, Concreter / Business Owner, NSW
Payton is funny, quick-witted and backs herself – loud and proud, she knows if someone doesn’t like her looks, they’ll love her personality. Having recently started her own business, Payton decided to move back home to her parents in Coffs Harbour to save money. Payton has received lots of attention on the dating apps – just not from the kind of guys she’s after. The hardest part about living in a small town is the lack of boys so she's hoping to find love elsewhere. A typical Gen Z, Payton is always up for some texting banter; she’ll read into all the emojis and isn’t afraid to roast her match for a laugh.

Since the global premiere of the series on Stan in 2022, Love Triangle has captured international attention and the first two seasons have been sold into 13 territories. The format has also been adapted for audiences in Finland and the UK – where Love Triangle UK will premiere its second season this year on E4 - and will also be available to stream on Stan.

The Stan Original Series Love Triangle is produced by Endemol Shine Australia (a Banijay Entertainment company) in conjunction with the 9Network.

The first two episodes of the Stan Original Series Love Triangle Season 3 will premiere April 6, followed by a brand new episode every Sunday, only on Stan. Every episode of seasons 1 and 2 are now streaming.

Endemol Shine Australia Strikes Partnership with Tokyo Broadcasting System

-The Insider unveiled as first format to stem from collaboration-

Sydney, Wednesday 19 February 2025: Endemol Shine Australia (ESA), part of content powerhouse, Banijay Entertainment, today announces a groundbreaking global partnership with Tokyo Broadcasting System Television (TBS), broadcaster, creator and producer of world-renowned hit series Ninja Warrior, Takeshi’s Castle and more.

Leveraging ESA’s unique and award-winning creative approach to supersizing and supercharging unscripted formats, the co-development deal will give the label the flexibility to access TBS’ new and existing formats with the view to uniquely shaping them for both Australian and global audiences. Combining the expertise of both companies, the arrangement is set to amplify a dynamic and innovative raft of titles on the world stage for networks and streamers alike. As part of the agreement, Banijay Entertainment has a first-look arrangement to produce the co-developed titles locally across its label footprint.

The first TBS format in development with ESA is the hilarious and subversive take on the strategic gameshow, Actor Vs Reactors, produced by Junya Ueda. Now reinvented and scaled by ESA as The Insider, the format sees a group of celebrities in a riotous strategic game where they will be continually and mercilessly pranked. But one celebrity sneakily knows the details of every prank and is faking their reactions. Can the celebrities find The Insider before they win all the cash?   

TBS is one of Japan’s largest media conglomerates responsible for the original sports entertainment reality format Ninja Warrior. Originally known locally as SASUKE, the show first aired on the network in 1997 and has since been sold into 160 territories. Via this all-new strategic alliance, ESA welcomes the opportunity to build on its existing relationship with the organisation forged through its production of the show for the Australian market.

Marco Bassetti, Chief Executive Officer, Banijay Entertainment said: “As a content powerhouse, Banijay Entertainment prides itself on being a home for the world’s best creative talent and a partner to leading ideators in the market. Via this all-new agreement, ESA has a unique opportunity to delve into TBS’ portfolio to apply its expertise in fostering new global hits and supersizing reimaginations. Diversifying and complementing our own catalogue of standout titles, the collaboration will also lean on our 21-territory-strong footprint to localise and scale these next generation superbrands.”

Peter Newman, Chief Executive Officer, ESA said: “We have a worldwide reputation for creating our own groundbreaking formats and supersizing existing ones. Working alongside TBS on this exciting initiative, we are excited to apply our creative lens to reinventing these local formats for a global audience. With The Insider, we have a title built for a broad audience – unpredictable and attention-grabbing. Combining the thrill and addictiveness of strategic gameplay, with explosive laugh-out-loud excitement, this hysterical genre-busting show promises surprises, deception, celebrities, comedy and sleuthing – perfect ingredients for a universal travelling hit.”

Katsuaki Setoguchi, Executive Officer of TBS Holdings, said: “TBS has designated FY2024 as the 'First Year of Global Business,' marking our commitment to strengthening our presence in the global market. We are thrilled to have established a partnership with Endemol Shine Australia, renowned for their outstanding creative capabilities as part of Banijay Entertainment, a leader in the global content market. We have high expectations for the innovative unscripted format that this collaboration will bring to the market; our first project, The Insider, combines the classic prank elements of Japanese variety shows with ESA's supersizing prowess. We look forward to delivering a brand-new form of entertainment to audiences worldwide.”

Jun Fukai, Director of Global Sales and Development at TBS Holdings, said: “In recent years, our Global Sales and Development Department has been focusing on format development with global expansion in mind. In July of last year, the team from Endemol Shine Australia visited Tokyo, where they engaged in three days of in-depth discussions with the TBS Global team and TBS creators. From over 20 proposals, we carefully selected a project to bring to the global market. We have high hopes that The Insider will captivate audiences worldwide and introduce fresh innovation to the global entertainment landscape.”

As a prolific creator and producer of iconic and pioneering Japanese formats, TBS is also behind hit variety show, Fun TV with Kato-chan and Ken-chan, known internationally as America’s Funniest Home Videos.

Two tribes. 24 all new players. Doctors, poker players, Olympic sprinters, AFL Wags, teachers and a witch. But only one sole Survivor. The ultimate game of survival begins on Monday, 17 February at 7.30pm on 10 and 10 Play.

This year Australian Survivor will once again pit brute strength against mental agility as Brains V Brawn face-off. 

With Jonathan LaPaglia at the helm, castaways will go head-to-head in Samoa for an epic tenth season where both tribes will attempt to Outwit, Outplay and Outlast each other to take home the title of Sole Survivor, as well as a $500,000 cash prize. 

Meet your castaways for 2025.

BRAINS TRIBE

AJ – Poker Champion

A Survivor superfan, AJ has been addicted to games (and winning) since he was a teenager, and now he hopes his poker skills will give him the upper hand. 

Ally – A.I. Expert

Having spent years proving herself in a historically male-oriented industry, Ally is loud, funny, and “true blue to the core”.

Indy – Business Development Manager

Business manager by day, stand-up comedian by night, Indy has a love for puzzles and describes herself as fiercely competitive. 

Kaelan – PhD Student

Appearances may be deceiving, but Kaelan is used to people underestimating his intellect due to his sporty build, in fact he’s hoping his tribemates underestimate him. 

Karin – Doctor

Working in an orthopaedic surgery, Karin is used to helping surgeons fix things but coming into Survivor, she’s excited to be the one to break bones for a change.

Kent – Business Mogul

Kent has been a fan of Survivor for 25 years, and getting to play the game is a dream come true. He’s driven, focused and has his eye on the prize. 

Laura – Witch

Honing her abilities to read people’s energies and see their auras, Laura is a superfan with 3D printed puzzles and a backyard full of challenges. She’s ready to cast a spell on her tribemates. 

Logan – AFL Wag

Wanting to show the world she’s more than just a WAG and mum, Logan wants to dive into Survivor purely for herself.

Max – Primary School Teacher

His greatest fear may be waking up to find a crab on his face, but Max is ready to risk it all to play the game he’s been watching with his dad since he was a kid.

Myles – Financial Analyst

A lover of statistics, Myles hopes his analytical approach will be exactly what he needs to get ahead in the game.

Rich – Film Director

Working with some of the biggest actors, Rich isn’t afraid to stir the pot, especially if it gets him one step closer to the title of Sole Survivor.

Zara – Vice President of the PTA

Mum of three Zara also has three degrees, and she hopes her experience as VP of the PTA will come in handy when dealing with clashing opinions in her tribe.

BRAWN TRIBE

Ben – Stonemason

With a life motto to just say “yes”, this risk-taker and adventure-lover has been waiting to play Survivorfor 25 years. 

Candy – Model

A fan of the series, Candy had a Survivor-themed eighth birthday party with DIY challenges. The model knows what it means to adapt to her surroundings and wants to prove she’s more than just a Brawn.

Jesse – Pro Skater

Wild child Jesse wants to be the personality hire of the tribe, bringing the vibes and helping everyone find their fun... until the time comes along to make some big moves. 

Kate – Dancer/DJ

Arriving in style, Kate wants people to be dazzled by her rhinestones, so they’re distracted, judging her on her sense of style rather than her passion to win. 

Kristin – Aviation Fire Fighter

With her intense job, Kristin is used to working under pressure and will be using her professional skills as well as her ability to relate to people to get ahead in the game. 

Morgan – Olympic Sprinter

A natural go-getter, Morgan has been racing since 2012 and has been an Olympic finalist in the 4x400m relay, and the 800m. Now she's looking to take home the Survivor gold. 

Nash – Salesman

With a background in sales, Nash knows that the brawniest thing about him is his confidence, and his smile is the key to disarming his tribe. 

Noonan (Laura) - Footy Fanatic

Call her what you want; Laura, Noonan, or Noons is ready to make a name for herself as the Survivor fanatic who is finally living out her obsession.

Paulie – Paramedic

Having worked as a paramedic, Paulie knows how to keep calm in high-pressure situations, connect with people instantly and make them feel at ease – two skills he thinks will be vital to his success in the game. 

PD (Paul) - NPL Football Head Coach

A salesman for a brewery by day and a soccer coach by night, PD has also played for the National Soccer League and represented Australia, hoping his experience working with a team means he’ll be a key player in his tribe.

Ursula – Powerlifter

Powerhouse and powerlifter Ursula knows her strength will be her greatest tool in the game. Fierce, strong, and extremely disciplined, she’s ready for the fight of a lifetime.

Zen – Hip Hop Artist
