CBS has unveiled the 18 contestants for the 46th installment of Survivor.

The forthcoming season kicks off with two two-hour episodes starting Wednesday, February 28, at 8 p.m. ET, followed by a second episode on Wednesday, March 6, at 8 p.m. Each subsequent episode will run for 90 minutes on CBS and stream on Paramount+.

CBS teases, “Building upon its legacy, this groundbreaking series continues to be the ultimate test of physical and mental endurance as this new set of castaways embarks on the adventure of a lifetime when they are left stranded on the breathtaking islands of Fiji.”
