It’s a series of three videos placed on TikTok to help spur interest in the new installments.
The season premiere debuts on Wednesday, February 28, but fans can now get an extensive sneak peek of these players.
Episodes return to Wednesday nights this spring, with bonus content available to viewers.
Host Jeff Probst has also teased a “vicious” season is ahead.
Survivor 46 season premiere releases the first 12 minutes
Here are the bios for the Survivor 46 cast members. There are 18 new people featured in this season filmed in Fiji.
Below is the first video that was released. It includes the cold opening and the boat ride in for the players. We meet several castaways, including an identical twin (Jessica “Jess” Chong) and a teacher from Mississippi.
An artist with her work in Madison Square Garden highlights the second part of the teaser (below). We also hear from host Jeff Probst, who speaks about the million-dollar prize.
This second video is nearly five minutes, giving a lengthy glimpse of the Survivor 46 logo and the castaways finally arriving on the beach. Once on the beach, Jeff welcomes the three new tribes to Fiji.
Rough seas also welcomed the players, with one person admitting to vomiting on Day One. This is an early hint that some drama is coming.

The third video (shared below) features the Survivor 46 cast playing its first challenge. Jeff introduces the challenge and the stakes, and it’s off to the races.
It’s an intriguing look at what these players are willing to do to win the first challenge, and it’s an exciting way to introduce these fresh faces.
