CBS has spoken.
The “Survivor” Season 50 cast was officially announced Wednesday morning, and fans finally learned the list of all-stars who are returning to Fiji for another shot at winning $1 million.
The new season, set to premiere in early 2026, features the biggest cast in the history of the show, with 24 players.
Among the returning contestants is “The White Lotus” creator Mike White, who came in second place on Season 37 in 2018. He’s had several “Survivor” contestants make cameos on the hit HBO series, which has been renewed for Season 4.
There are two winners competing on Season 50: Season 45’s Dee Valladares and Season 48’s Kyle Fraser.
Season 50 will also feature two contestants from Season 49, which finished filming earlier this month and will premiere in the fall.

The upcoming season is fittingly titled “Survivor 50: In The Hands Of The Fans.”
During the airing of Season 48, fans got to vote on different creative categories for Season 50. The options included the official tribe colors, if the contestants get rice or not, if idols should be in the game, if the final four fire-making challenge should return, if there should be a live reunion show in Los Angeles again, and more.
The results of the votes will be revealed to the Season 50 cast while they’re on the island.
“This is the riskiest idea we’ve done,” host Jeff Probst told Entertainment Weekly in February. “But what makes it fun is it’s forcing us to evolve again and say: Let’s create a variety of game elements that you will vote on, and then let’s just see what that mixture ends up being.”
Probst, 63, previously told USA Today how producers went about casting Season 50 from the pool of over 700 former castaways.
“We started from 200 and then we got it down to 100. And from that point it’s been tough because every time you cut somebody you know you’re killing a dream but you’re also losing a potential great story,” he said earlier this year.
“Survivor” Season 50 premieres in early 2026.
