The full Survivor 50 cast is officially set, with two players from season 49 revealed during the finale as the landmark season prepares to debut in 2026.
The countdown to one of television’s biggest milestones is officially on. Following the dramatic conclusion of Survivor season 49, CBS has now revealed the complete cast for Survivor 50, including the two final players who earned their spots during Wednesday night’s finale.
With a new sole survivor crowned in Fiji, attention immediately shifted to the upcoming 50th season of the long-running competition series. The first 22 castaways — a blend of legendary veterans and modern-era standouts — were announced back in May, leaving two mystery slots reserved for players from season 49.
Those final spots have now been filled by season 49 winner Savannah Louie and her closest ally, Rizo Velovic. Savannah secured her return after defeating Sage Ahrens-Nichols and Sophi Balerdi to become the sole survivor of season 49. Rizo, known by the nickname “R-I-Z-G-O-D,” narrowly missed the final Tribal Council after being eliminated during the fire-making challenge, earning another chance to prove his strategic skills.
The Survivor 50 cast spans the full history of the franchise, beginning with Jenna Lewis-Dougherty from season 1 (Borneo) and season 8 (All-Stars). She’s joined by fellow early-era icon Colby Donaldson, who previously competed in seasons 2 (The Australian Outback), 8 (All-Stars), and 20 (Heroes vs. Villains).
Other returning legends include Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick, Cirie Fields, Ozzy Lusth, and Benjamin “Coach” Wade, each of whom appeared across multiple classic seasons. Fan favorites from later eras such as Aubry Bracco, Chrissy Hofbeck, Christian Hubicki, Angelina Keeley, Mike White, and Rick Devens are also set to return.
Recent standouts round out the cast, including Jonathan Young from season 42, Dee Valladares and Emily Flippen from season 45, and Q Burdette, Tiffany Ervin, and Charlie Davis from season 46. Representing seasons 47 and 48 are Genevieve Mushaluk, Kamilla Karthigesu, Kyle Fraser — the season 48 winner — and Joe Hunter.
Titled Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans, the milestone season will premiere Wednesday, February 25, 2026, with a special three-hour episode airing at 8 p.m. on CBS and Paramount+. With returning winners, strategic masterminds, and fan-favorite personalities, the stage is set for a historic season in Fiji.
