KOH LANTA 2023. On the occasion of a promotional spot broadcast during the Football World Cup, Koh Lanta unveiled the name of its next season 2023. We tell you about it.
[Mis à jour le 20 décembre 2022 à 15h03] TF1 took advantage of the many advertising slots of the Football World Cup to promote its future programs, including Koh Lanta. While the previous season ended with the joint victory of Bastien and François at the end of June, no new season was offered on the air at the end of 2022. It must be said that the antennas of the first channel in France were very busy during the period between Dancing with the Stars and football matches. In a promotional spot, however, we were able to learn a little more about the next season of the survival game worn by Denis Brogniart.
The 2023 season of Koh Lanta will therefore be called Koh Lanta: The Sacred Fire, in reference to what seems to be the great gadget of this future season. In the video that you can discover above, we can hear some explanations: “In the Philippines, a legend tells that a God secretly kept a sacred fire in the bowels of the Mayon volcano. A fire with considerable powers which gave birth to a equally powerful talisman”. Obviously, the sacred fire of Koh Lanta 2023 should give real advantages to whoever holds it. It remains to be seen what these advantages will be.
Another big question that arises before the broadcast of Koh Lanta: The Sacred Fire, when will we be able to discover the new episodes of the TF1 survival game? For the time being, the channel only gives a vague indication: “soon”. However, given the date on which this commercial was broadcast (mid-December) and the usual date of broadcast at the beginning of the year for new seasons of the adventure game, one can imagine that Koh Lanta 2023 should land on TF1 from March 2023.
Why was there no Koh Lanta season at the end of 2022?
In an interview for Puremédias last April, Xavier Gandon, director of TF1 antennas, spoke about the future of Koh Lanta. So in full broadcast of the season “Koh Lanta, the Cursed Totem”, the channel was already not planning a second season of Koh Lanta at the end of the year. Gandon indeed explained that there “is no current filming of a new season”, which means in fact that there “will therefore be no second season of Koh-Lanta at the start of the school year” . For several years, TF1 had accustomed viewers to following two different seasons of Koh Lanta in one year, often with an “all-stars” season at the end of the year. In 2022, after Le Totem Maudit, Koh Lanta will take a break. Xavier Gandon explains this choice, referring in particular to the fact that Tuesday evening could possibly see a return to the American series. “We saw with ‘Une famille en or’, that the sequence of streaming programs after ‘Koh-Lanta’ worked well. That said, the Tuesday evening box is not necessarily intended to remain a box of stream. It will depend on the offer of American series. We will be pragmatic.”
Questioned by Linternaute on this subject at the end of June (our interview can be read here), the producer of Koh Lanta Alexia Laroche-Joubert is rather satisfied with this choice of a break for the survival show which celebrated its twentieth year in 2021. “I also find it very good that we are not going straight away with another Koh Lanta. Where we have chained in ten weeks, an extremely short time, the last two seasons. I find it very good that we wait a bit there.” Perhaps the opportunity to develop the game that candidates and viewers know by heart?
The 2022 season of Koh Lanta ended on Tuesday June 21 after four months of broadcasting. The jury returned an unexpected verdict, placing Bastien and François tied with four votes each, while Géraldine, winner on the posts, obtained only three votes. For the first time, it was a final between 4 candidates on the posts and, for the first time again, 3 candidates facing the final jury. Equally, Bastien and François shared the sum awarded to the winner and each won €50,000. Note that such a tie in the final has already taken place twice in the history of Koh Lanta. The first in 2003 between Delphine and Isabelle. The second between Jade and Kevin in 2007. It had therefore been fifteen years since a tie in the Koh Lanta final had not taken place.
Program sheet
Koh-Lanta is an adventure game broadcast since 2001 on TF1. It was presented by Hubert Auriol for the first season. Since 2002, Denis Brogniart has been in charge of hosting the program. Several adventurers try to survive on a deserted island until the finale. In this entertainment of survival and strategy, several tests punctuate each episode, and a candidate is eliminated by the other participants, until there are only five left. The latter then decide on two emblematic tests: the orientation and the posts, before the final vote. Since its inception, the game has seen many rule changes.
It was in the Philippines that the candidates left during Koh-Lanta, the cursed totem. They were 24 to participate in 2022, 12 men and 12 women. Below, find our recap of the adventure, candidate by candidate.
The final of Koh Lanta, the cursed totem was broadcast on Tuesday June 21, 2022 on TF1. It opposed Bastien, Jean-Charles, Géraldine and François all qualified in the final during the orientation test. After four months of broadcast, the 2022 season of Koh Lanta has delivered its verdict. Bastien and François were crowned equal winners of the show in the final.
It was on the evening of June 21, 2022 that TF1 broadcast the grand finale of Koh Lanta, the cursed totem. After 39 days of survival in the Philippines, it was Bastien and François who were chosen by the final jury as the big winners of the season. The two candidates supplanted Géraldine with 4 votes each against 3.
Koh-Lanta is a TF1 program broadcast twice each year on the first channel: a first season is broadcast in the spring, a second at the end of the summer. Each episode is available on television but also live on the MyTF1 site via tablet, computer or smartphone. The show is available for replay the next day on the MyTF1 site for a period of 7 days. Note that the replays are posted on the Salto platform for an indefinite period, which allows the most avid fans to see or re-watch the entire season.
