Why ‘Survivor’s Jeff Probst Let Mike White Back for Season 50 After ‘White Lotus’ Success
These 18 castaways are ready to outwit, outplay and outlast.
Survivor has revealed the cast of season 49, set to premiere in September.
Among the new contestants competing for the $1 million prize in Fiji are a Washington, D.C. political comms director, a California law clerk, a musician from Austin, Texas, a rocket scientist from Denver, Colorado, and a fitness trainer based in San Diego, California.
They’ll be going head-to-head in physical and social game play against a social worker, a wellness specialist and an airport ramp agent, among others.
In addition to intense challenges, surprise twists and game-changing advantages, season 49 will continue “to prove both the ultimate test of physical and mental will, as well as the adventure of a lifetime, for castaways stranded on the beaches of Fiji,” according to CBS’ Aug. 20 announcement. The cast will also be “tasked with forming a new society, adapting to their surroundings and navigating an unpredictable social game to ensure their torch stays lit.”
