The latest season of popular travel and adventure reality show Survivor will air on December 14 and was shot on the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji. This season, themed ‘Heroes v. Healers v. Hustlers,’ marks the 35th edition of the Survivor series.
It will feature 18 castaways, divided into three groups of six based on how they are perceived by others. Heroes are heralded for their achievements, healers receive gratitude for their work and hustlers must earn respect from others.
These castaways will be forced to compete against each other with the same ultimate goal: to outwit, outplay and outlast each other to become the sole Survivor.
This season’s castaways include an Olympian, NFL player, Bellhop, diversity advocate and Urologist.
