Survivor Season 49 is finally here with a new group of castaways ready to face off in one of the most challenging reality series ever. Who are the contestants in Survivor Season 49 competing for the $1 million prize? Read on to meet the members of the three tribes: Hina, Kele and Uli.
After crowning a winner in May, CBS’s long-running reality competition returns with a new high-stakes season from Fiji’s tropical Mamanuca Islands. Eighteen castaways will brave food deprivation, harsh elements, and grueling challenges as they compete to become the sole survivor and secure one of two available spots on the Survivor 50 cast in 2026.
This season’s players range in age from 25 to 52, and include a law clerk, an airport ramp agent, a rocket scientist, a financial crime consultant and more. In an interview with Men’s Journal, returning host Jeff Probst said the castaways endured “unrelenting heat” for two weeks, but gameplay improved after the weather conditions got better.
“The back half of the season is fantastic because you can’t predict who’s going home,” he teased. “There’s no way, because you don’t know, because the players didn’t know — they were changing their alliances so fast, and it wasn’t just willy-nilly, it was all strategy based.”
The highly anticipated new season of Survivor kicks off on Wednesday, Sept. 24, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS and Paramount+. (Find out how to watch episodes for free here.) Keep reading to learn all about the Season 49 castaways, including their ages, hometowns, current residences, and occupations.
