Overview

  • The Season 50 roster spans 19 different seasons and reunites 24 all-stars—including Mike White, Cirie Fields, and Ozzy Lusth—for the franchise’s largest returning-players lineup.
  • Under the “In The Hands of the Fans” concept, viewers determined tribe colors, the fate of hidden immunity idols, and whether to keep the final-four fire-making challenge.
  • Filming kicked off in June 2025 in Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands, the show’s home since Season 33, ahead of the milestone season’s February 2026 debut.
  • Producers narrowed a pool of over 750 former castaways down to 24, reserving two mystery spots for top finishers from the forthcoming Season 49.
  • The mix of two past winners, multiple-time competitors, and fan favorites sets the stage for dynamic strategic play for the $1 million prize.
