Emmy Award-winning, The White Lotus creator, Mike White is stepping back into the world of tribal councils and immunity idols as he returns to CBS’s Survivor for its milestone 50th season.
White’s second-place finish in Season 37 helped catapult him to Hollywood stardom, and now he’s heading back to the beach as part of a highly anticipated all-returnee cast.
White headlines a group of 24 former contestants chosen from 19 previous seasons of the reality competition, host Jeff Probst announced Wednesday on CBS Mornings.
The landmark season will also include two players from the upcoming Season 49, which is scheduled to premiere in the fall of 2025.
Among the returning players are recent standouts Dee Valladares, winner of Season 45, and Charlie Davis from Season 46.
Long-absent fan favorites like Colby Donaldson and Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick will also return to the game.
Donaldson previously competed in Seasons 2, 8, and 20, while LaGrossa Kendrick appeared in Seasons 10, 11, and 20.
Survivor first aired in May 2000 and has since become one of the longest-running reality competition shows in television history. The 50th season is slated to air in spring 2026 on CBS.
