JEFF PROBST ANNOUNCES THE CAST OF “SURVIVOR 50!”



Meet the Iconic Returning Players Who Will Compete in Survivor’s Landmark 50th Season, Premiering in Spring 2026

Jeff Probst appeared live on CBS MORNINGS today to announce the 24 returning players who will compete in SURVIVOR’s highly anticipated milestone 50th season, premiering in spring 2026 on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. The castaways include iconic returning players from throughout the Emmy-winning series’ groundbreaking history, going all the way back to season one, which premiered in May 2000.

SURVIVOR 50 will push the series into uncharted territory and impact the players like never before. For the first time ever, the game is “In the Hands of the Fans”! Earlier this year, fans voted on key elements of the game, including “Idols or No Idols,” “Final Four Fire Making: Keep It or Lose It” and “Live Finale and Reunion Show in L.A. – or Keep the Winner Reveal and Aftershow in the Jungles of Fiji.” The players won’t know what the fans voted for until they are competing on the island.

The game and the celebrations leading up to next spring’s premiere are designed to honor fans for their loyalty and passion throughout the 25 years of the hit series, and to entice new viewers as well!
