Jeff Probst likes to tell players that “you have to dig deep” to make it on Survivor, and for the 48th time, a group of castaways is hitting the beach to do just that.
CBS has announced the cast for Survivor 48, which premieres with a two-hour episode on Wednesday, February 26, at 8 p.m. ET. Probst, 63, returns to host — as he has every season since the show premiered in 2000 — and will guide the 18 all-new players through every challenge, twist and blindside that the journey has to offer.
Like other seasons in Survivor’s “new era,” the players will be split into three tribes of six, leaving no place to hide.
“Even the strongest competitors will be tested and forced to dig deep mentally and physically to ensure their torch stays lit,” CBS teased in a release announcing the cast.
This season’s group is diverse in age, background and occupation, with a debate professor, stunt performer and surgeon all set to hit the beaches of Fiji.
