# Last Hero: Champions vs Newcomers

Last Hero: Champions vs Newcomers is the ninth season of the Russian reality television series Last Hero. The season is filmed in Zanzibar, Tanzania where 17 Russians compete against each other for food, immunity and the grand prize whilst surviving on abandoned islands for 39 days. The season started with a public vote of former players that determined who would return to the game and form one of the two tribes. The other tribe consisted of entirely new players, with a 'joker' joining at the merge where they're competing for the grand prize of 5,000,000₽.
The season was hosted for the third and final time by Yana Troyanova. The season premiered on 6 February 2021 and concluded on 1 May 2021 where Roman Nikkel won against Elena Bartkova in the final challenge to win the grand prize and the title of Sole Survivor.
