“Survivor” returns Wednesday, and 18 new castaways will test their survival instincts on the islands of Fiji.
This season’s contestants will be divided into three tribes of six, and the competitors will be forced to dig deep mentally and physically to ensure the torch stays lit. Each castaway has the same ultimate goal — claim the title of Sole Survivor and win the $1 million prize.
The 48th installment of the cult favorite survival show features a range of contestants across ages, demographics and professions.
The two-hour season premiere will debut on Wednesday, Feb. 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CBS Television Network and will be available to stream on Paramount+ live with Showtime and on-demand the next day for Paramount+ subscribers. The reality series will then shift to 90-minute weekly episodes the following Wednesday, March 5.
