• After roughly a two‑month summer break, the new 2026 episodes pick up directly from that crash, with multiple characters’ fates hanging in the balance.

• Channel Seven is promoting 2026 as one of the show’s most high‑stakes years, with big storyline twists and at least one major character death teased.

• Return date: Monday 19 January 2026.

• Time and platform: 7:00pm on Seven, with streaming on 7plus the same evening.

A bit of context for fans

• The 2025 finale centred on a “party train” derailing in a tunnel on the way to a music festival, leaving several Summer Bay favourites trapped.

• Early 2026 episodes focus on the rescue effort and reveal who survived, making the January comeback especially crucial viewing for ongoing fans.
