Get your torches ready!

Australian Survivor is returning this coming Monday night, and we've never been more excited: seriously.

This year, the show will attempt to answer: is blood thicker than water? There will be 24 contestants, with each of them coming into the game as a pair with a member of their own family.

From returning contestants,MasterChef Australiaroyalty and a famous parenting influencer, this season is sure to deliver. And after the last couple of amazing seasons, the pressure is on.

Here's everything you'll want to know about the 24 cast members, including where to follow them on Instagram.

Mark and Sam: Husband and wife.

You just might recognise this power couple.

Mark and Sam were actually onAustralian Survivorseason two, where the two struck up a romance. They ultimately fell in love, got married and now have a son together.

In their real lives, Mark is a former Australia soldier and SAS Commander. Sam is an endurance runner who also co-founded a female trail and adventure platform offering programs and retreats.

Last time Mark playedSurvivor,he thought being fit and strong would be enough to go far in the game, but he quickly realised the importance of having a social game: an understanding he plans to bring to his second season.

As for Sam's mantra this time round: "composure and calm, this is a marathon not a sprint."

Jordan and Josh: Cousins.

Although these two guys are cousins, Josh and Jordan say they are more like brothers considering thier closeness.

Interestingly, pilot Josh considers himself aSurvivorarmchair expert and is excited to see if he can execute the physical, social, and strategic gameplay in real life. He has also bought some flint and learnt the basics of fire, plus some basic knot tying skills.

Jordan on the other hand, plans on throwing himself "head first" into the game, ready to see what he is truly made of.

"It's a shared experience and you've got to be lucky to get on the show, let alone get with your cousin. It's all fun for us, we won't take anything too seriously," the pair said.

Couldn't have said it better ourselves.

KJ and Sophie: Sisters.

Kate (KJ) is aSurvivorsuper-fan who is coming in armed with the knowledge she has taken on after meticulously watching past seasons. She's decided to rope her younger sister Sophie into it too!

"I think we'll play our own game as we're two very different people. I'll try to play the game in line with my values and who I am here on the outside," KJ noted.

Sophie said: "I know how well-prepared KJ is so I'll be going to her for advice, strategy, game play, what I would do in a certain situation."

Some may recognise the brunette sister, her name is Sophie Cachia: a mother of two, a sleepwear entrepreneur and the founder of hugely successful parenting blog The Young Mummy.
