After months of anticipation, Survivor 50 is finally here! The historic season will kick off tonight, Wednesday, February 25, on CBS and Paramount+. The premiere will welcome 24 legendary players to the Mamanuca Islands of Fiji, where they will compete for the coveted title of Sole Survivor. For some, Survivor 50 is a shot at redemption. The cast, aside from a few winners, is made up of players who narrowly missed out on a win. Season 50 offers them a second chance to prove they have what it takes to win the million, and we suspect the competition will be fierce.
So, what do you need to know about the premiere? We have all the details…
