The “Survivor” Season 50 cast has officially been announced. Host and showrunner Jeff Probst announced the 24 returning players on “CBS Mornings” on Wednesday and revealed the show will premiere on CBS in Spring 2026.

Per the press release, the show will “push the series into uncharted territory and impact the players like never before.”

Plus, for the first time, the game is planned by the fans. Earlier this year, fans were able to vote on key elements of the game, including on whether there will be idols, whether fire making will remain and whether the live finale and reunion show will return in Los Angeles.

During a recent panel for the CBS series, he revealed he was surprised by fans hoping for no twists in Season 50.

“Maybe there’s some of you here today who want a season with no idols, no switches. I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be more boring than you think,” he said at the time. “So I’m hoping people vote to let the players play, and that they want idols in the game, but we’ll see. It’s fun to watch the tallies. We’ve done a couple. You voted on things already. It’s very fun to see. I nervously click the link sent to me, thinking, ‘Please be something fun.’”

The series first debuted in 2000 and in Season 50, as always, players will compete to win the title of Sole Survivor and the $1 million prize.
