We knew it was coming, but it was still awesome to see the first look at the teaser for Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans.
During the Survivor 49 finale and after winner was crowned, Jeff Probst, as he does every season, cued up the first look at the next season of Survivor. We all know that the next season just happens to be the biggest season of Survivor in a long time.
After watching the new trailer for Survivor 50, my only thought is that I’m just so hyped to watch this season. I think we might be looking at one of the all-time seasons after that first look. It’s early, but there’s so much to be excited about.
The trailer begins with the players hopping on the plane to Fiji, narrated by the man, the myth, the legend, Coach. Then, we see a shot of Colby, and we're ready to rock and roll. Next, Jeff is out on the beach for the marooning challenge. And, then it's officially on! We see all the players, the challenges, and it's all action.
There are so many incredible players returning for Survivor 50, and I really think that’s what is going to make this season so great. We’re going to see some great gameplay, but the most important thing is that these great players are coming back to play.

I know there's been a lot of talk about this cast. More specifically, the conversation about who didn't get picked to return, but looking at this cast, and finally seeing them out in Fiji, I'm really, really excited about what's to come. There is such a good mix of legends, strategic players, challenge threats, and so much more in this cast.
And, there are 24 of them! That's going to be one epic season, and I can't wait to see it begin.
Survivor 50 begins on Feb. 25, 2026, at 8 p.m. EST on CBS and Paramount+. It's going to be a party, and you do not want to miss out.
Rizo and Savannah are coming back for Survivor 50
Yes, you read that correctly. Speaking of returning players, we also learned that Rizo Velovic and Survivor 49 winner Savannah Louie are coming back for Survivor, as well. Clearly, those two players were standout members of a great cast.
There could have been even more great players picked, but I really do feel like Savannah and Rizo are the two players I want to see play against those others in Survivor 50.
