We're only a few weeks away from the first new season ofSurvivorin 2025. Luckily, it hasn't been a long wait between seasons.Survivor 47just crowned its winner,Rachel LaMont, on Dec. 18, 2024. Two months later, we already know theSurvivor 48cast and have seen the first look at the new season.
We shared everything fans need to know aboutSurvivor 48!
When does Survivor premiere in 2025?
Survivor 48premieres at8 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Feb. 26on CBS and Paramount+. Like many new seasons ofSurvivor,the season 48 premiere will also be a two-hour episode.
New episodes will air weekly on Wednesdays in that time slot on CBS throughout the season. While we haven't heard if each episode will be 90 minutes, we're expecting that the new season will follow a similar pattern asSurvivor 46andSurvivor 47which featured 90-minute episodes outside of the premiere and finale episodes.
You can also watch the new episodes ofSurvivor 48on Paramount+.
Survivor 48 cast
CBS just announced thecast of Survivor 48at the end of January. We thought we'd be waiting until about now, two weeks before the season premiere, until the cast was announced, but CBS got the news going sooner than expected.

For the eighth season in a row,Survivorwill not feature any returningSurvivorplayers. The last time returning players were included was inSurvivor: Winners at Warway back in season 40. According to Jeff Probst, we won't see returning players untilSurvivor 50, which films later this year and premieres in 2026.
Here's what Probst toldEntertainment Weeklyearlier this year:
“It's just a constant flow of fascinating people. Why would we want returning players? Not yet. Time is on our side. Let's just keep going here. And that's how I feel about seasons 47 and 48. We're already meeting the people who are going to be playing months from now and we are jazzed about it. So until you said that, I don't think I'd given it any thought. There was no thought about returning players in 46 or 47 or 48.”

Survivor 48 trailer
Survivor fans got theirfirst lookat theSurvivor 48trailer during theSurvivor 47After Show. Following Rachel's big win,Jeff Probstshared a clip of the new season featuring all 18 new players.
There were no names of the players in the teaser yet. And, at that time, we obviously didn't have the cast list. Now, we have the cast list, along with pictures of each cast member, so fans can actually match up the names and faces to the teaser trailer now.
As you can see, there's a major moment in the teaser that features Jeff Probst calling for medical. After one medical evacuation inSurvivor 46,there was no one pulled from the game inSurvivor 47.It looks like that could change inSurvivor 48.
Jeff Probst teases exciting Survivor 48
We're only a few weeks away, and if you're looking for Jeff Probst to share some big updates about what is to come this season, you'll have to wait a little longer. AfterSurvivor 47,Jeff Probst has only said a few things aboutSurvivor 48so far.
Here's what Jeff Probst toldEntertainment Weeklyin December:
“I am VERY excited for Survivor 48! That’s all I will say. Let’s gooooo!”
Then, at a charity event in Asheville, North Carolina earlier this month, Jeff Probst revealed that this season is a "very good season" in an Instagram video.
That's basically all he's said so far aboutSurvivor 48so far. That's not outside of the norm, of course, at this phase of the game. We're going to learn a lot more about the new season as we get closer. I'm sure we'll see Jeff share some secrets about the season with EW.
And, of course, we're still waiting for word on what's next forOn Fire with Jeff Probst,the official Survivor podcast. One of theSurvivor 47is expected to come host with Jeff and Jay Wolff, so we'll just keep you posted on who that will be. The general consensus is pointing to Andy Rueda or Rachel LaMont, but we'll just have to wait and see.
That's basically all we know aboutSurvivor 48so far! Stay tuned for more news about the new season of Survivor. You know we'll be covering all season long at Surviving Tribal.
