Is a trailer for Survivor 50 available?

In addition to Brown, Mr Beast, and Jeff Probst, the returning players were featured in the Survivor 50 trailer (above), which was released during the Survivor 49 finale. In one of the trailer’s clips, the host seems to be accepting a challenge himself. There are also suggestions regarding Fallon and Eilish’s involvement. Devens exclaims, “This is a Billie Eilish boomerang idol,” and Hubicki remarks, “Fallon might decide his fate in the game.”

What is the theme of Survivor 50?

The Survivor 50 Challenge allows America to participate in the game as Survivor turns 50. The Emmy-winning host has unveiled an incredible nationwide Survivor 50 Challenge to commemorate the milestone season, turning the entire nation into a big real-world scavenger hunt.

With 50 secret immunity idols placed across 50 states, each with a winner, this coast-to-coast activation, which begins on January 30, invites people nationwide to test their abilities and play the game for real.

“In the Hands of the Fans” is the name of the landmark season, which aims to express gratitude to viewers for their decades of support. Voting rounds for the inclusion or exclusion of game features in Season 50 were conducted while Survivor 48 was broadcast. Fans won’t learn the vote results until the episodes are released, and players didn’t know the outcomes until they were shown to them in the game. They had the opportunity to vote on a number of issues, including the return of the live reunion in Los Angeles and the continuation of the final four fire-making competition.

The Survivor 50 Challenge: What is it?

With one official immunity idol hidden in each of the 50 states, the Survivor 50 Challenge is an immersive multi-week scavenger quest that brings the thrill of Survivor straight into communities throughout the country. New viewers, seasoned watchers, and anyone who enjoys a good challenge will have the opportunity to plan, find hints, solve puzzles, and locate real immunity idols buried in their state for the first time. For an enjoyable, family-friendly journey, players are urged to gather their tribe, invite friends and family, and test their strategic abilities.

Prior to the debut, the Survivor Ultimate Fan Café is also making a comeback. It was previously held in Boston, however this time it will be in Miami.

When did Survivor 50 get filmed?

On June 6, 2025, Jeff Probst declared that filming for a video from Fiji has begun. He told the viewers in the message that he had just witnessed the marooning task, which is the season’s first obstacle before the players are split up into their tribes, and that every member of the returning cast had a burning desire.

In the video, Probst stated, “Every single person basically said the same thing: I want to play hard and I want to have fun.” He explained to fans that the returning players wanted to avoid making the same mistakes they had in the past—becoming so “caught up” in the game that they failed to appreciate the adventure.

Probst continued, “The other thing that impressed me was that they went full tilt on that first challenge.”

At the end of June, Survivor 50 filming was completed. Probst disclosed that they have finished production as of June 30 in a video that was uploaded to Instagram Stories and then shared by Survivor podcast and fan accounts (see below).

Standing in front of a giant Survivor 50 sign (the season’s theme, “In the Hands of the Fans,” emblazoned beneath the show title), Probst said, “We just finished 50, we already finished 49. I just want to send a video and say [the] same thing that we always say: Thank you. Because you make it possible in ways that are visible and in ways that nobody ever sees but we know about.”

When Probst joked that he personally constructs and dismantles the sets following challenges, some of his crew members were present.

“Thanks for the continued love and support,” he said. “We love Fiji. Bula, bula, bula!” Bula is a Fijian word used as a warm welcome.

How long will Survivor 50 episodes go for?

Survivor 50 episodes will be 90 minutes long after the three-hour premiere.

Is Season 51 of Survivor renewed?

Yes. Probst assured viewers that Survivor would return in Fiji for Seasons 51 and 52 in the same post-production video.

Season 50 of Survivor will debut on Wednesday, February 25, 2026 at 8/7c on CBS.
