Survivor 50: Mike White vs. Cirie Fields and Ozzy Lusth in Epic Fan-Favorite Showdown!

The lineup for “Survivor” Season 50 is now official! On a recent episode of “CBS Mornings,” host Jeff Probst unveiled the 24 returning players, with the new season set to air on CBS in the spring of 2026.

According to the announcement, the upcoming episode is expected to lead the series into entirely new realms, leaving an indelible mark on its characters.

For the very first time, the planning of the game is being handled by its enthusiasts. Earlier this year, these passionate fans had an opportunity to shape significant aspects of the game. They were able to voice their opinions on various elements such as whether idols would be included, if fire-making was to remain, and whether both the live finale and reunion show should come back to Los Angeles.

In a recent discussion on CBS’s show, he admitted that he was taken aback by viewers expressing their desire for an absence of plot twists in Season 50.

He expressed, “Perhaps some of you here today yearn for a season devoid of idols and twists. Frankly, I suspect it would be less entertaining than anticipated.” He further added, “I’m hoping that the audience will vote to let the players play as they wish, and find enjoyment in the presence of idols within the game, but we shall see. It’s intriguing to watch the results unfold. We’ve had a few instances already. You’ve voted on several matters. It’s thrilling to observe the outcomes. I anxiously tap the link sent to me, praying for something exciting.

In its initial airing back in 2000, this show made its grand entrance, and when we reach Season 50, as customary, competitors will strive once more to claim the title of Last Man Standing and pocket the lucrative $1 million reward.

Apart from the 22 photographs unveiled, we can expect the inclusion of two contestants taking part in Season 49. To learn more about the complete lineup, scroll down or click here to find out who made it to the roster, courtesy of Probst’s announcement.
