Survivor 46 has arrived, and here is a look at the tribes.
There are 18 fresh faces on the new Survivor season, with filming done in Fiji. Yes, Fiji, again.
Host Jeff Probst is back, and he teased some “vicious” moments from these players.
The first episode airs on Wednesday, February 28. It’s a two-hour premiere to introduce everyone.

CBS released the first 12 minutes early, allowing everyone to see what’s up with Season 46.
