(CBS)

Survivor returns next month with its 51st season, and CBS has revealed the cast competing for the $1 million cash prize. CBS revealed the cast in a YouTube livestream.

CBS shared the following about the upcoming season:

“SURVIVOR revealed today in a YouTube livestream the 21 new castaways who will compete against each other when the Emmy(R) Award-winning series premieres its 51st edition, kicking off the series’ new “Open Era” with a special two-hour episode, Wednesday, Sept. 23 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ Premium plan subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs)*.

The groundbreaking reality series, which shifts to 90-minute weekly episodes beginning Wednesday, Sept. 30 at 8:00 PM, returns with an all-new expanded class of dynamic and determined competitors. The 51st season marks the first of SURVIVOR’s “Open Era,” in which every twist, every idol, every advantage in the series’ history may come into play in any order and without warning.

Twenty-six years after it first premiered, SURVIVOR continues to prove both the ultimate test of physical and mental will as well as the adventure of a lifetime. Castaways stranded on the beaches of Fiji are tasked with forming a new society, adapting to their surroundings and navigating an unpredictable social game to ensure their torch stays lit. SURVIVOR, currently nominated for five Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Reality Competition Program, is hosted by five-time Emmy winner Jeff Probst.

The following 21 new Castaways, including a professional wrestler, sociology professor, medical student, baseball executive and farmer, are set to embark on the adventure of a lifetime on SURVIVOR 51, where they will test their endurance, strategy and willpower in pursuit of the title of Sole Survivor and the $1 million grand prize.
