'Survivor 50' Cast Revealed: 24 Returning Players, 2 Winners & Fan Favorites Set for Milestone Season
The wait is over: Survivor 50 premieres tonight.
After first revealing the 24 returning players back in May 2025, Jeff Probst and CBS are officially launching the milestone 50th season of Survivor with a monumental three-hour premiere airing Wednesday, February 25 from 8:00–11:00 PM ET/PT.
Titled Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans, the historic installment brings back 24 returning castaways, the largest cast in the show’s history, as they’re abandoned on the islands of Fiji to battle it out for the $1 million prize.
The season marks the first all-returnee edition since Winners at War.
This time, fans are directly influencing the game: preseason voting determined key twists, idols and advantages, and those decisions will immediately impact the competition beginning in tonight’s premiere, “Epic Party.”
According to CBS, the episode will feature players reflecting on how they’ve changed since their last time playing, while an unexpected injury during the first immunity challenge forces tribes to rethink their strategy.
The three-hour premiere airs tonight on CBS and streams on Paramount+, with live access for Premium subscribers and on-demand availability starting tomorrow.
