Home and Away returns 19 January 2026
When the soap returns to Aussie screens on 19 January, every second will be crucial.
The clip sees Levi Fowler butting heads with Cash Newman to access the derailed train so he can help Abigail and Mack.
Also at the scene are Sergeant David Langham and Tane Parata, as the latter defies police orders and heads into the tunnel to rescue his loved ones, but who will make it back to Summer Bay?
The trailer also anticipates the return of two fan-favourite characters for more scenes taking place in Western Australia.
Couple Darryl “Brax” Braxton and Ricky Sharpe will be back in 2026, with their “ambitious, high-stakes” storyline moving the action away from the Bay and across Perth, the coastline and the Outback.
