‘Survivor’ Reveals the Season 43 Cast: Meet the 18 Castaways
Survivor is back with new castaways vying for the $1 million prize on season 43.
The long-running CBS reality staple will introduce 18 new castaways who will attempt to outplay and outwit each other to earn the title of Sole Survivor. The upcoming edition, hosted by Jeff Probst, kicks off with a two-hour premiere Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
The latest Survivor hopefuls include competitors from various backgrounds and parts of the country, including a 31-year-old clinical psychologist and a 24-year-old UX designer to a 30-year-old with a Ph.D. in political science and a 25-year-old U.S. Paralympian.
According to CBS, season 43 will “launch a new chapter with thrilling elements” that will keep the castaways — who “bring a fresh perspective to this new era of the game — on their toes.
The new season marks Survivor‘s 22 years on TV, with nearly 650 castaways and torch snuffs. The premiere episode marks the franchise’s 621st hour.
Meet the 18 castaways below.
