# Selviytyjät Suomi season 9

Selviytyjät Suomi (season 9) is the ninth season of the Finnish reality television series Selviytyjät Suomi. The season returns to Langkawi, Malaysia where 18 Finnish celebrities compete in tribes against each other for 37 days to win the grand prize of €30,000 and claim the title of Sole Survivor. Riku Rantala returns to host. The season is slated to premiere on 1 September 2024 on Nelonen.
In May of 2024, it was reported that one of the contestants, author Henriikka Rönkkönen was medically evacuated from the island due to serious injury from a heatstroke.
The season sees some new twists to the format. At the beginning of the competition, two team leaders: Kristian Heiskari and Sami Helenius, former winning contestants, are introduced. The "tribe leaders" have important roles on the competition, as they can choose rewards and advantages for their tribes.
