Who Dares Wins is back! Channel Seven reboots ’90s game show with an all-star cast including Candice Warner, Roxy Jacenko and Nick Cummins
Channel Seven is set to bring back Who Dares Wins in 2020 – but it won’t look anything like it did in the nineties.
In the original version of the Australian game show, contestants competed in slapstick-style stunts to win prizes.
In 2020, the new version (titled SAS: Who Dares Wins) will be based on the UK show of the same name, and will see participants attempt to overcome an intensive military training program.
