The Survivor 48 cast is ready for its time in the sun.
A new season of the hit reality competition show begins Wednesday, February 26.
Eighteen new castaways played for the $1 million cash prize, and someone will likely get an invite back for Survivor 50.
The new season was filmed in Fiji, with Jeff Probst returning as the host.
Jeff has been providing many teases about the new season, intermixed in his interviews about Survivor 50.
But before we can get to that monumental 50th season, two more seasons with fresh faces need to air on CBS.
