Season 35 of CBS’s reality competition series, Survivor, will feature an NFL player, an Olympian, and a celebrity assistant, along with a firefighter, a Marine, a diversity advocate, and a social worker. The 18 castaways on Survivor‘s 35th season will initially be separated into three groups: Heroes, Healers, and Hustlers. Per CBS, “heroes are used to being heralded for their achievements, healers receive gratitude for their work and hustlers must earn respect from others.”
Emmy Award-winner Jeff Probst returns as host, guiding the action taking place on the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji. CBS has set a Wednesday, September 27, 2017 at 8pm ET/PT premiere for the new season which finds the castaways once again competing to outwit, outplay, and outlast each other in order to earn the title of Sole Survivor.
This season’s tribes will be called “Levu” (the Heroes Tribe), “Soko” (the Healers Tribe), and “Yawa’ (the Hustlers Tribe).
