‘Survivor’ Season 44 Cast: Photos Of The 18 New Castaways

CBS

The hit series ‘Survivor’ will return for season 44 on March 1. Emmy Award winner Jeff Probst is back as the host. The 18 new castaways have been revealed, and they include a yogi, a New York City firefighter, and an elementary school teacher.

Stranded on the beautiful islands of Fiji, these motivated new players must form a society and adapt to their physical and social surroundings, forcing them to decide what is more dangerous: the environment or navigating the complex social game and placing trust in their tribemates. The participants will be divided into three tribes of six and face a faster, more dangerous season from the moment they step on the beach. The moral dilemmas and mysterious new layers of this complex game will push even the strongest competitors to their limits, and the mental and physical challenges require players to constantly adjust their strategies in order to make it another day.

By the end of the season, only one can be named the Sole Survivor and win the $1 million prize. Meet the cast in our gallery now.
