The epic 50th season of Survivor — complete with returning cast members like Cirie Fields, Benjamin “Coach” Wade and Mike White — premiered last week on CBS in a three-hour episode. Former players continue to fight for $1 million and the title of Sole Survivor.
The theme for the 50th season is “In the Hands of the Fans.” Viewers previously voted on game features such as “Idols or No Idols” and “Final Four Fire Making: Keep It or Lose It,” and players will find out what fans voted for while competing in Fiji, according to CBS. The season 50 trailer name drops celebrities like Zac Brown, Billie Eilish, Jimmy Fallon and YouTuber MrBeast. Here’s everything you need to know to watch it without cable.
