SAS Australia is one of the most gruelling, nail-biting, and physically demanding shows ever to hit our screens.

This year’s highly anticipated 2021 series is set to start in two weeks on Channel Seven.

The premiere on Monday, September 13 is going to be a wild ride with some of the most demanding tests Australia has ever seen.

SAS teased its fans on the show’s official Instagram by hinting at bigger and better moments ahead.

“In 2 weeks, the toughest test is here. 👊 Are you ready? #SASAustralia starts Monday, September 13 on @channel7,” said the post.

The intense cast list for the show was revealed in April, and elite ex-Special Forces soldiers Ant Middleton, Mark “Billy” Billingham, Jason “Foxy” Fox, and Ollie Ollerton are all back for another season as the Directing Staff (DS).

Channel Seven has also announced the 18 famous faces tackling the military course.

The most notable stars who will attempt to push their minds and bodies to the limits without fear are Lisa and Grant Kenny’s son Jett Kenny, 27, Former Miss World Australia Erin Holland, 32; TV chef Manu Feildel, 47, and NRL player Sam Burgess, 32.

Other surprising contestants who will brave the military-style show are actress Isabelle Cornish, 26, billionaire Geoffrey Edelsten’s ex-wife Brynne Edelsten, 38, and Neighbours star Bonnie Anderson, 26.

On SAS’s release day post, its future contestants commented their excitement by claiming they’re ready for the challenge.

Survivor star Jessica Peris wrote, “I’m ready 🙌🔥🔥,” and Erin Holland confidently proclaimed, “Bring it 👏.”

Ever a proud mum, Lisa Curry shared a comment on the page to support Jett. She wrote, “Can’t wait 👊.”

The show’s former Special Forces soldier Ollie Ollerton commented, “STANDBY!!!! 🔥.”

Perhaps Ollie wants to warn his new group of contestants to keep their wits about them before embarking on maybe the most harrowing journey of their lives.

So, it appears the bets are on! Let the games begin…
