Jai Courtney to host The Summit for Nine

Nine has secured actor Jai Courtney (The Suicide Squad, Divergent, The Terminal List, Stateless) as host of its 2023 reality adventure The Summit.

The series by Endemol Shine Australia sees 14 strangers tackle dangerous terrain on New Zealand’s South Island. They set out with backpacks each containing equal shares of $1m, but must reach the peak of a distant mountain to win the cash.

Along the journey they’ll need to work as a team as they tackle dangerous terrain, wild weather conditions, and overcome adrenaline-charged challenges that block their path to the mountain peak – the holy grail.

In this thrilling marathon of endurance, survival and greed, morals will be severely tested, physical limits pushed to breaking point, and bonds busted. How many of these 14 mega-money chasers will reach the enticing summit in time – and who will walk away with the cash bulging in their backpacks?

This blockbuster challenge is a prime time event series filled with cliff-hangers. Welcome to The Summit … where getting up is just the beginning.

The Summit is a 9Network and Endemol Shine Australia (A Banijay company) original series, produced by Endemol Shine Australia.
