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 ’90s.

The new version, titled SAS: Who Dares Wins, is based on the UK show of the same name, and sees participants attempt to beat an intense military training program.
