CBS revealed the 20 castaways who’ll be competing on season 34 of the reality competition series, Survivor, filmed on Mamanuca Islands in Fiji. Season 34 has a “game changers” theme and is made up of 20 returning players who’ll try to outwit, outplay, and outlast their competitors. Among the returning players who’ll get a second chance is Caleb Reynolds who was medically evacuated during season 32. Also returning are season 7 and 20 winner, Sandra Diaz-Twine, and season 28 winner Tony Vlachos.
According to CBS’ official announcement, Survivor season 34 will kick off with the 500th episode of the series. Episode one will air on Wednesday, March 8, 2017 at 8pm ET/PT.
“When we started this adventure, I don’t think anybody would have predicted we’d still be going strong 17 years later!” stated host and executive producer Jeff Probst. “I’m as enthusiastic as ever and love the relationship we have with our audience. I think Survivor fans are really going to enjoy this season.”
