When does 'Survivor' Season 48 premiere? Date, cast, where to watch and stream
The tribe has spoken and a new batch of competitors are about to outwit, outplay and outlast each other.
"Survivor" returns for Season 48 later this month as the show inches closer to the highly anticipated 50th season, which is slated to launch a year from now and feature an all-star cast.
In the meantime, Season 48 will introduce 18 new contestants from all walks of life vying for $1 million while grappling with food deprivation, exposure to the elements and layered social politics.
Season 47 concluded in December after offering fans iconic blindsides from the near unanimous Rome vote, Rachel's funeral and Operation Italy.
