USA TODAY's TV critic Kelly Lawler breaks down the best TV shows you don't to want to miss this spring.
After years of speculation from fans, the long-awaited cast of the 50th season of "Survivor" is finally here.
The Season 50 cast, made up of all returning players, was revealed May 28 on "CBS Mornings," followed by an interview with the show's longtime host and executive producer, Jeff Probst. While many players are returning for their second, third, fourth or even fifth times vying for the $1 million prize, one player stands out from the group: Mike White, the writer and creator of Emmy-winning "The White Lotus."
Titled "In the Hands of the Fans," "Survivor" fans were able to vote on several aspects of the Season 50 game prior to filming, including whether to have hidden immunity idols available for players and if there will be a final four fire-making challenge.
Season 49 will premiere this fall, with the milestone Season 50 premiering in 2026.
