The cast of Survivor 50 sports a whopping 22 players, representing a wide array of history, from the very first season to the recently-wrapped 48. Two of them are players we haven't even met yet, as they'll be appearing on the upcoming Survivor 49, then coming right back for 50. Six of them were the "fallen angel" of their season, the final person eliminated. Eleven of them made it to the Final Tribal Council, pleading their case to the jury for the million-dollar prize. And two of them succeeded in said pitch, taking home the win, and coming back for a second.Keep reading for the video of Probst announcing the Survivor 50 cast, as well as information on all 24 castaways. Survivor 50 premieres in spring 2026 on CBS.

Angelina Keeley (David vs. Goliath)
When Angelina was given the label of "Goliath" on Season 37, she wore it with a badge of honor. The master negotiator was the face behind some of the most iconic moments in one of the best seasons in Survivor history. Angelina got to show off her skills both in her successes, getting Jeff to give them rice in exchange for sitting people out of a challenge (something that became a staple of the New Era), and failures, as she was quite literally left out in the cold while trying to get Natalie's jacket. Angelina made the Final Three, where, despite the metaphoric and literal ladders she climbed to get to Day 39, she finished in a distant third place.Related: Read our post-finale interview with Angelina Keeley
Aubry BraccoAubry Bracco (Kaôh Rōng, Game Changers & Edge of Extinction)
In the heat of Cambodia, Aubry had a meltdown in the first days of her Survivor career. Luckily, she was able to recover quickly, as the Brains tribe member became one of the strategic forces of Kaôh Rōng, running nearly the entirety of the second half of the game. Unfortunately, her relationships suffered from the moves she pulled off, as she finished as runner-up in one of the most controversial outcomes in Survivor history. Aubry returned a year later for Game Changers, where she had a quieter, yet still solid run, making it to fifth place. She was also one of four returnees to come back for Edge of Extinction, where the new players ganged up on her at her first Tribal Council, blindsiding her with an idol in her pocket.
Charlie DavisRobert Voets / CBS
Charlie Davis (46)
Survivor 46 was one of the most chaotic seasons of all time, as personalities clashed and strategies were so cutthroat that multiple players targeted their own number ones. Charlie was the eye of the storm, someone who greeted the havoc around him with the joy and energy of his favorite Taylor Swift song. His ability to navigate constant conflict and a record number of idols leaving the game got him into the Final Three, seemingly in a prime position to win it all. But Charlie was cost first position by his former number one in Maria, as he lost the season in a dramatic 5-3 jury vote.Related: Read our post-finale interview with Charlie Davis
Chrissy HofbeckChrissy Hofbeck (Heroes v. Healers v. Hustlers)
Actuary Chrissy tried to master the numbers early into Survivor's 35th season, forming a crucial duo with her fellow Hero Ben. But the two turned from closest allies to bitter rivals in the postmerge, as she turned her people against him. While Ben kept himself safe through clutch idol finds, Chrissy did the same with Immunity Challenge wins, tying the record for women. Just when Chrissy thought she had finally beaten Ben at the Final Four, she was shocked by the introduction of the then-new firemaking twist. As a result, she had to face off against Ben once more on Day 39, where she finished in second place.Related: Read our post-finale interview with Chrissy Hofbeck
Christian HubickiChristian Hubicki (David vs. Goliath)
In Survivor: David vs. Goliath's opening moments, Christian was chosen as one of his tribe's weakest links, only to absolutely smoke the competition with a slide puzzle due to an algorithm he designed. From that moment on, the robotics professor became one of the biggest threats on the island, to the point where his own number one ally eventually turned on him. Christian was able to keep his game alive, however, due to two idols and an incredibly memorable six-hour endurance challenge win. At some point, however, he ran out of people who wanted to play with him in the sand, as he was voted out in seventh place.Related: Read our exit interview with Christian Hubicki
Cirie FieldsCirie Fields (Panama – Exile Island, Micronesia – Fans vs. Favorites, Heroes vs. Villains & Game Changers)
Considered one of the best Survivor players to never win, Cirie started her long journey in the game by being afraid of leaves. The nurse had "gotten off the couch" to play with no outdoors experience, but a desire to make moves. And that's just what she's done over her four-season run on American Survivor, pulling off an infamous 3-2-1 vote at the Final Six to get rid of the biggest "goat" in the game and being a key part of the epic maneuver to get Erik to give up his immunity necklace in Micronesia. Astoundingly, Cirie has never been eliminated with a majority vote in her island career, most recently getting eliminated in Game Changers due to being the only person by default who did not have an idol or advantage.In 2023, Cirie ventured away from the island and over to a Scottish manor. She became a key figure in the first season of the American version of The Traitors, finally getting her long-sought-after win after an impressive run in the Turret. Later that summer, she became a houseguest on Big Brother 25 alongside her son Jared, making it all the way to fifth place. Cirie has also been announced to be a cast member on the upcoming Australian Survivor all-star season, Australia vs. the World, representing the U.S. alongside fellow legends Parvati Shallow and Tony Vlachos.
Benjamin "Coach" WadeBenjamin "Coach" Wade (Tocantins, Heroes vs. Villains & South Pacific)
His name is Benjamin, but from the first step he took in the Brazilian Highlands, he insisted that everyone call him "Coach." It's a gesture emblematic of one of the most enigmatic characters in Survivor history, a man who openly declared himself the "dragon slayer," who told allegedly true tales of kayaking by himself down the Amazon river, who purposely took the "monastic approach" during perhaps the most iconic trip to Exile Island in the show's history. During his first two seasons in Tocantins and Heroes vs. Villains, Coach was not taken seriously by the players or the show, especially when he preached the concept of playing "honorably" and taking strong players to the end. In South Pacific, though, he finally got the respect he felt he deserved, becoming the leader of a devout alliance that ran the entirety of the game. Despite finally making it to the end, Coach was kept out of a win, as the jury felt his preachings of loyalty and integrity were undermined by his gameplay.
Colby DonaldsonCourtesy of CBS
Colby Donaldson (The Australian Outback, All-Stars & Heroes vs. Villains)
While he'll tell you he "ain't no Hershey Bar," many Survivor fans were sweet on Colby during his first season in the Australian Outback. And that also extended to the players, as the Texan was able to woo with his Southern charm, shining smile and hard work ethic. Colby dominated the physical game, winning a record five Immunity Challenges. But he also was one of the main strategic players of the season, flipping the game on its head in the premerge. At the Final Three, Colby had his pick of an opponent and chose his number one ally, Tina, rather than the more disliked Keith. It's still regarded to this day as one of the worst moves in Survivor history, and arguably lost him the game in a close 4-3 jury vote.Despite his loss, Colby emerged as one of the most popular players to ever come out of the show. He parlayed his notoriety into a screen career, appearing in Red Eye and Curb Your Enthusiasm, as well as hosting reality shows Top Shot, Top Guns, The Butcher and Alone. Colby returned for Survivor: All-Stars and Heroes vs. Villains, both times alongside fellow Australia cast member Jerri Manthey. In Season 8, she was able to exact her revenge, voting him out before the jury. In Season 20, despite being labeled "Superman in a fat suit," he became the last hero standing, finishing in fifth.
Dee ValladaresRobert Voets / CBS
Dee Valladares (45)
Dee operated the majority of Survivor 45 out of a group, part of a foursome among her original tribe that was able to run nearly the entirety of the season. But within the collective, Dee made the moves to make sure whatever happened was the outcome that she wanted. She systematically took out everyone who was clocking her game. She also set herself up with multiple number ones at the endgame and, at a crucial point, used the information from one to save the other, getting Julie to crucially play her idol to take out Emily. By the time Dee had reached the Final Three, she had dominated every facet of the game, having made close bonds, won three Immunity Challenges, and orchestrated the biggest moves of the endgame. And her dominance was rewarded in a million dollars, as some would call her the best winner of the New Era.Related: Read our post-finale interview with Dee Valladares

Genevieve MushalukRobert Voets / CBS
Genevieve Mushaluk (47)
After lying low in the first votes of Season 47, Genevieve came alive during one particularly chaotic vote, turning the tribe entirely against Kishan in the course of an afternoon. But while the lawyer continued to make sudden moves to send people to the jury, she couldn't shake the personal hurt he felt at her betrayal. Genevieve's penchant for blindsides made her one of the biggest threats in the game, suddenly sending her tumbling down to the bottom. She pushed through, however, due to a clutch immunity win and the massive swing of "Operation: Italy." But, as Genevieve reconciled with the emotions of ending someone's dream, her own dream would soon be finished, as she left in fifth place.Related: Read our post-elimination interview with Genevieve Mushaluk
Jenna Lewis-DoughertyCourtesy of CBS
Jenna Lewis-Dougherty (Borneo & All-Stars)
Jenna was part of Survivor's blockbuster first season, remembered most for tragically not being able to receive a video message from her children at home. In the game, she was one of the ill-fated Pagong tribe who suffered at the hands of the show's first-ever alliance, finishing in eighth place after she was damned by Dr. Sean's unorthodox "Alphabet Strategy." Jenna got the chance to return four years later in All-Stars, where she served as one of the biggest mouthpieces to take out the previous winners. After getting in with the majority, she made it all the way to the Final Three, where she lost the final Immunity Challenge, joining the jury in favor of the then-budding couple Boston Rob and Amber.
Joe HunterRobert Voets/CBS
Joe Hunter (48)
Joe came to Survivor 48 on behalf of his late sister, who was always the bigger fan of the two of them. But the fire captain very much the season his own. He locked in quickly with Eva, supporting her during an incredibly emotional post-challenge "episode" from her autism. Perhaps it was that gesture of protection that had many people in the game feel like Joe had their backs. He and his alliance ran the postmerge, and he succeeded in his goal of locking in with a group and getting them to the end. Unfortunately, despite his dominance in both the challenges and the tribe pecking order, the jury did not value his moral gameplay at a million dollars, giving the athlete the bronze medal.Related: Read our post-finale interview with Joe Hunter
Jonathan YoungJonathan Young (42)
Jonathan stands tall, literally, as one of the most impressive physical players in the New Era. The beach company owner was a massive asset in the challenges, quite literally carrying his tribe during one memorable premerge moment. But despite his imposing demeanor, he was able to remain safe for the majority of the game due to the support of his allies. That all began to crash, however, much like Jonathan's body after three weeks of malnutrition. His game all went down in flames at the Final Four, as he was taken out by his closest ally, Mike, getting his torch snuffed by "Mr. Jeff."Related: Read our post-finale interview with Jonathan Young
Kamilla KarthigesuRobert Voets/CBS
Kamilla Karthigesu (48)
In a season that was dominated by an alliance of physical players based on loyalty, the 5'1" strategist Kamilla would theoretically stand no chance. But that would be underestimating the software engineer at our peril, much like what happened in Survivor 48 proper. Kamilla locked in with Kyle early on, as the two formed a secretive duo. And so, even when she was on the outside of the postmerge majority, she was not only still comfortably safe, but able to pull off some of the biggest moves of the season. At the Final Four, Kyle and Kamilla realized they were each other's biggest threats in the end and were forced to turn on one another. Unfortunately for Kamilla, she was branded the loser, going out in Final Four Firemaking.Related: Read our post-finale interview with Kamilla Karthigesu
Kyle FraserRobert Voets/CBS
Kyle Fraser (48)
Kyle would be the first to tell you he's "the best average guy you'll ever meet." True to that notion, he predicated his game on staying in the middle, allowing him a wide perspective as to everything that was happening. During the postmerge, as he cemented his position with the majority, he was also working as a secret duo with Kamilla. And so, while Kyle spent many moments lying in wait, he jumped at just the right times, making clean and crafty moves to take out his biggest competition. When he got to the Final Three, Kyle revealed to the jury that he was a lawyer, and appropriately stated his case of why his superior and solid gameplay should earn him a winning verdict.Related: Read our post-finale interview with Kyle Fraser
Mike WhiteMike White (David vs. Goliath)
Even before he became a contestant, Mike had made his impact on Survivor. The actor and screenwriter behind School of Rock and Enlightened had made his reality TV debut with his father on two seasons of The Amazing Race. But he was a massive Survivor fan, occasionally giving Jeff advice in previous seasons. And after getting to talk the talk, he walked the walk as a "Goliath," getting a front-row seat for some of the most entertaining moments of the season. After appearing more under the radar in the first half of the game, he made sure to make his own Hollywood ending, orchestrating a series of blindsides. Ultimately, he made it to the Final Three, earning a supporting credit with a runner-up finish.Having lived for 39 days in a tropical paradise where people schemed behind each other's backs out of pure greed, Mike was struck with inspiration. He went on to create The White Lotus, the smash HBO hit that has won him three Emmys so far for writing and directing. Mike has even brought his past into his present, as a few David vs. Goliath cast members (including Angelina and Christian) have made cameos in the first three seasons of the series.Related: Read our post-finale interview with Mike White
Ozzy LusthOzzy Lusth (Cook Islands, Micronesia – Fans vs. Favorites, South Pacific & Game Changers)
It's tough to find a Survivor player who is as naturally in his element on the island as Ozzy. Within days of stepping foot on the beaches of the Cook Islands, he was scaling coconut trees and swimming like a dolphin through the Pacific Ocean. Across his four seasons, Ozzy has been known for his peak physical performances, tying a record with five Immunity Challenge wins in a season and winning his way back into the game twice from Redemption Island. On the strategic and social side...not so much. In fact, he was blindsided on his second season by his own alliance, with an idol in his pocket to boot. All that being said, Ozzy is one of the rare players in Survivor history to get close to winning the game not once, but twice. Were it not for a surprise reveal of the Final Three in Cook Islands, and a loss in the final Immunity Challenge in South Pacific, he would already be a champion. And now he's back for his fifth shot at the win, or else go out in a blaze of glory.Related: Read our post-elimination interview with Ozzy Lusth
Q BurdetteRobert Voets / CBS
Quintavius "Q" Burdette (46)
Q is a Survivor player as rare as the singular letter in his name. In the first half of Survivor 46, he was part of a disastrous tribe, yet held onto power in the middle. When the merge hit, however, all hell broke loose. Q's plan for a "strong six" quickly fell apart, causing him to go after his number one in Tiffany. When that failed, he threw everything into pandemonium when he asked to be voted out. His request was not granted, and he quickly became public enemy number one, on the receiving end of intense Applebee's diatribes and many, many votes. At the Final Six, Q found an idol, feeling confident that he would be the decoy vote once again and sail to the end. But the former football player was stopped short of the endzone, as he became the last of five players that season voted out with an idol in his pocket. Given Q's usual antics, we'll see how many advantages he'll hide in his "Q Skirt" in Season 50, and whether anyone chooses to make a "big mistake" in targeting him, lest Christmas be canceled.Related: Read our post-elimination interview with Q Burdette
Rick DevensRick Devens (Edge of Extinction)
Survivor: Edge of Extinction was a fever dream of frenetic gameplay, and newsman Rick was the headline-maker. Rick was initially voted out fourth, the victim of a bad tribe swap. But he was granted a reprieve through the season's titular twist, returning at the merge. It wasn't long, however, until people wanted to vote Rick out again, especially as he used his new lease on life to play more aggressively. However, through four Immunity Challenge wins and three idols, he staved off elimination, making it all the way to the Final Four. It turns out that the only person who could take out Rick in this game was the person who was voted out just before him. When fellow returnee Chris won the final Immunity Challenge, he chose to give up safety to take on Rick, the odds-on favorite to win the game, ending Rick's story for good.
Stephenie LaGrossa KendrickCourtesy of CBS
Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick (Palau, Guatemala & Heroes vs. Villains)
In her first season, Stephenie experienced the worst nightmare for any Survivor player. In a first for the series, her tribe lost every single Immunity Challenge, leaving her as the sole remnant of Ulong. Pushing through the groundbreaking solitary experience, she ultimately finished in seventh place. But Stephenie's underdog story earned her massive popularity, as well as a spot on the very next season. She became the first returning player to compete alongside newbies, and, partially due to her reputation, she was in control for the majority of the game, in good standing with many people in her alliance. However, her decisions to cut said people had her paying dearly, as the jury fell out of love with her by game's end, leaving her as runner-up of the season. Stephenie had one more go at Survivor in Heroes vs. Villains, where she was the second voted out, given the blame for the Heroes' losing streak.
Tiffany Nicole ErvinRobert Voets / CBS
Tiffany Nicole Ervin (46)
Tiffany showed in the early days of Survivor 48 that she was happy to take power into her hands, finding a Beware Advantage, getting an idol and voting at Tribal Council in one day. It wouldn't be the last vote she cast, as her tribe's continual losing streak left her outnumbered at the merge. Tiffany hoped her tribemates would stick together, but those hopes were shattered when she found out Q wanted to take her out, having told everyone about her idol. The two number one allies suddenly became worst enemies, prompting tense arguments between them, from challenges to Tribal. Unfortunately, the mayhem Q had caused had Tiffany feeling safe enough to not play her idol at the Final Eight, a decision she immediately regretted when she was blindsided.Related: Read our post-elimination interview with Tiffany Nicole Ervin
