Get a Head Start—Follow the 'Survivor 45' Cast on Social Media Before the Premiere

Just the Gist:

• CBS announced the Survivor 45 cast of 17 new castaways, plus returnee Bruce Perreault.
• The new Survivor players reveal their "red flags" in a promo video.
• Season 45 contestants range in age from 23 to 49 years old.

It's an exciting time when the Survivor cast is announced. Another season means more incredible characters, more twists, and more blindsides! Host Jeff Probst is returning for the 45th time to introduce us to 17 new people, plus Bruce Perreault, who was medevaced during the Season 44 premiere.

After the first four seasons of a New Era filled with diversity and fun personalities, the casting department has listened to the fans and kept the good times rolling. And the Survivor social media team has definitely leveled up. A promo video with the Season 45 cast's "red flags" was the perfect intro into what we can expect to see. (Just kidding—when it comes to Survivor, we can't be sure of anything!)
