Survivor 48 cast with pictures: Meet all 18 new players

It's time to meet theSurvivor 48cast! Don't worry, we shared their pictures, too!

CBS and the Survivor team officially rolled out thecast of the new seasonofSurvivorat the end of January. The cast had alreadyleaked on Redditand other social platforms months before theSurvivor 48premiere on Wednesday, Feb. 26. Once theSurvivor 48trailer dropped during the season 47 finale, fans were able to easily confirm who would be a part of the cast ofSurvivor 48.

We shared all 18 new players joining the cast and competing inSurvivorfor the first time. Just like all the seasons of the new era so far, there are no returningSurvivorplayers in this cast. So, if you're ready to meet these players, let's get to it!

Cast of Survivor 48

Before theSurvivor 48premiere, these pictures of the cast and little snippets of who they are probably don't mean much. We designed this page so fans can easily find more information about each member of theSurvivor 48cast, including their picture, age, hometown, where they live now, their profession, and which tribe they started the game on.

We also shared, in the video above, the get-to-know-youSurvivor 48cast video. I highly, highly, highly recommend that video for everyone tuning in for the first few episodes ofSurvivor 48. It's a really good way to meet these players, learn about them, and see what drove them to play Survivor. We all know that it's hard for all 18 players to make a big impression in the first few episodes because camera time is so limited, so I really appreciate CBS sharing more interviews with these players so fans can get to know them early in the game and invest in their journey.

During the season, we'll continue to update this page to provide up-to-date information about the cast, including if they're still in the game, if they've been voted out, and more. Spoilers through episode 4 ahead!

So, let's meet all 18 players on theSurvivor 48cast!

Stephanie Bergerwas, unfortunately for her, the first boot ofSurvivor 48. She ended up on the wrong side of the majority alliance and opted to play her Shot in the Dark in the season premiere to stay in the game. It didn't land, and Stephanie was voted out ofSurvivor 48on a 4-1 vote. Mary was the only player on the Vula tribe who did not vote for Stephanie.

Thomas Krottinger

Noooo, notThomas Krottinger! He was voted out after Kyle Fraser played his immunity idol at Tribal Council after an epic tribe swap that saw the California Girls Alliance in a power position on the new Vula tribe. They still lost the challenge, though, and Thomas received votes from Kyle and Kamilla Karthigesu at Tribal Council in episode 4.

Survivor 48 tribes

As you know by now, the 18Survivor 48players will be divided into three tribes of six players to start the game. That's how every season of the new era ofSurvivorhas worked so far, and based on what we know about the season,Survivor 48will not be different.

InSurvivor 48,the three tribes are called Civa (orange), Vula (green), and Lagi tribe (purple).

Here is the official tribe list ofSurvivor 48:

The tribe you start the game with can make all the difference. If you can't establish that strong alliance to start the season, you can have a really hard time making it through the game. There are obvious exceptions, but it's a big deal!

Jeff Probst returns as the Survivor host for the 48th season

We can't talk about theSurvivor 48cast without talking about the return of Survivor's fearless leader, the man, the myth, the legend,Jeff Probst.

Jeff returns for his 48th season as the host ofSurvivor. Idon't know what the record is for reality TV seasons hosted, but I can't imagine there's another host who has hosted a show longer than Jeff has. Although he's been running the show for years, he has transcendedSurvivor.He's an idol to many of these players. Simply interacting with him is a dream come true for a lot of players, and that's been a pretty cool development in how the show has accepted players who are true, true fans of Jeff, the show, and the whole Survivor ecosystem.

And, Jeff's showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon! He's already locked in forSurvivor 50(and probably beyond!), too.

We haven't heard him discussSurvivor 48much. We'll definitely hear more when new episodes of On Fire with Jeff Probst start dropping after eachSurvivor 48episode with Jay Wolff and new cohost,Rachel LaMont, theSurvivor 47winner.

Jeff did have high praise for theSurvivor 48cast in an interview withEntertainment Weekly, recently. Here's what Jeff said about the cast:

“I don't have any reservations about48. I think it's a great season. Great players. I love the gameplay. I'm really optimistic about this season.”

"Great players," you say? I can't wait to see this gameplay that Jeff loves so much, too.
