THE teaser trailer for the 2018 season of Australian Survivor has dropped and it’s amazing.

Fans have responded to the promo with excitement, with one Twitter user declaring, “Great promo! So dramatic and exciting!”

“This trailer is so much better [than] the Survivor US trailers, another fan wrote on YouTube.

Another commented, “Just … wow … AMAZING!”

The first seven contestants on the latest series of the popular reality TV show are revealed in the two-minute trailer, and they include some familiar faces.

Watch it above.

The third season is set to be quite different to the first two, with “Champions” including a footy legend and Olympic medallist set to compete against ordinary Aussie “Contenders”.

The Champions vs Contenders series will feature a total of 24 contestants — 12 from each side.

The winner will take home $500,000.

Former rugby league and rugby union star Mat Rogers is first to appear in the clip.

The 42-year-old, who is a self-confessed Survivor fan, told News Corp that he used to watched the show with his mother before she passed away.

“I feel all warm and fuzzy being here knowing that she would be so rapt, she would be loving the fact that I’m on this show. I’m stoked.”

Damien Thomlinson, a former special forces commando who lost both legs in an explosion in Afghanistan, will also compete in the series.

“The accident was easily the best thing that has ever happened to me,” he says in the promo clip.

The 36-year-old completed the notoriously difficult Kokoda Trail with his prosthetic legs and competed in two Invictus Games.

Five-time Olympic medallist Shane Gould, 61, is a keen competitor too. After retiring from swimming at just 17, Gould became a mother of four and earned two university degrees.

She reportedly said she wanted to “test her survival skills” by appearing on the show.

AFLW player Moana Hope, 30, is also listed among the Champions.

“It’s not always the strongest team wins,” she says in the clip. “It’s sort of the smartest team.”

The popular Aussie rules star also previously represented her state in cricket, but gave it up to focus on football.

Meanwhile, the ordinary Aussie “contenders” include Robbie, a construction worker who says he can “overthrow” the champions; Tegan, a management consultant with pure grit; and Jenna, a FIFO mining supervisor who is determined to prove her doubters wrong.
