Mike White, Cirie Fields, Ozzy Lusth announced as ‘Survivor 50' cast members
After months of rumors and speculation (and endless fake spoilers), the wait is finally over. CBS has officially announced the cast of Survivor 50, the landmark golden anniversary season that's due in spring 2026. This is the first all-stars cycle since Season 40's Winners at War (2020), so fans are understandably excited to see who's returning to the island. Host Jeff Probst unveiled the cast list May 28 on CBS Mornings, approximately nine months before the season will actually air. In between now and then, Survivor 49 will debut on CBS later this fall. The 49th and 50th seasons are filming back to back this spring and summer in Mamanuca Islands, Fiji, the reality TV show's permanent home since 2016.

SEE 'Survivor' deaths: Full list of castaways we've lost The host and showrunner's main goal in casting the 50th installment was to bring back contestants who "represented the entire series," which began in 2000. Since then, more than 700 people have played the game of Survivor, with each winner taking home a $1 million prize. To date, Sandra Diaz-Twine (Pearl Islands, Heroes vs. Villains) and Tony Vlachos (Cagayan, Winners at War) are the franchise's only two-time champions. In another example of fan support, CBS and Fiji Airways teamed up to award five lucky at-home "tribes" — comprising groups of friends and loved ones — with trips to Fiji to watch the filming of Season 50. Their adventures include roundtrip airfare, four nights of accommodations at a luxurious ocean-front resort, exposure to the rich Fijian culture, a tour of the Survivor sets, and a meet-and-greet with Probst.

‘Survivor 50' spoilers: Jeff Probst on the ‘competitive, dramatic' first challenge and what the 24 players told him at the marooning
On Friday, some juicy Survivor 50 spoilers were revealed from the host and showrunner himself, Jeff Probst. "OK, it is about two hours after we just started Survivor 50," Probst announced on social media. "We had our marooning challenge this morning. So, this is what I know so far." More from GoldDerby 2025 Tony Awards (updating live): Sarah Snook wins Best Actress in a Play for 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' 'We need to be gayer than ever before': 'RuPaul's Drag Race' queens and producers get political at FYC pool party 'Ran' turns 40: How a clerical error and bad blood cost Akira Kurosawa an Oscar The four-time Emmy winner teased, "We have 24 players who had an incredible attitude. Every single person basically said the same thing: 'I want to play hard and I want to have fun.' That was a big theme because a lot of returning players said, 'You know, I've gotten so caught up in the game that I forget that I'm having this incredible adventure, and I want to do both.' If that's true, that bodes really well." Probst added, "The other thing that impressed me is they went full tilt on that first challenge. It's competitive. It's dramatic. It comes down to a close finish. But regardless of who wins, what I saw in all 24 players is pure desire. We have players going back 25 years, and we have players who just played, and it's everything in between, and it was very exciting. It's hard to get me more excited than I already am about Survivor, but this morning did it. I'm looking forward to a really fun season!" CBS The cast of Survivor 50 was unveiled on May 28, about a week before they officially started filming in Mamanuca Islands, Fiji. This is the first all-stars cycle since Season 40's Winners at War in 2020, so fans were understandably excited to see who was returning to the island.

Season 50 of the hit reality show "Survivor" is set to air in 2026, but unlike seasons past, we already know some of the castaways, including one from Memphis. Quintavius "Q" Burdette who competed to be the "lone survivor" on Season 46 of the show, is headed back to Fiji to compete with other previous castaways against each other in group and individual challenges for the title of "sole survivor" and the $1 million cash prize that comes with it. For 25 years, "Survivor" has entertained millions as groups of sometimes 20 competed to be the lone survivor. And to celebrate the 50th season, some of the original cast members are making their way back to the beaches of Fiji for "Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans". But for "Survivor" 50 there will be a bit of a twist, with the fans holding the power to decide some of the key elements of gameplay prior to filming, including whether to have hidden immunity idols available for players and if there will be a final four fire-making challenge. Here's everything to know about "Survivor" 50 and Tennessee's connection to the show. "Survivor," hosted by Jeff Probst, has been on the air since 2000.
