Get ready, friends, because Survivor is back for its 49th (!!) installment. Following a lil bit of drama (which saw—for the first time—two contestants get replaced by alternates following a rule break!), this season we’re heading back to Fiji to see 18 new castaways compete for the title of Sole Survivor...and ofc, that $1 million prize. The Survivor 49 cast includes a Marvel exec, a correctional officer, and even a literal rocket scientist, so you’re not going to want to miss a minute.
