Survivor 50 is coming in a little less than a year.

Although Survivor seasons usually aren't teased this far in advance, but obviously, the show's 50th season is something of an exception. The season will debut in February of 2026 and is designed to be a celebration of the series and also a way to get fans even more involved.

Over the past few months, fans have been voting on various aspects of how the game will unfold, including everything from the tribe colors and immunity necklace designs to more substantial choices.

Among these more substantial choices, fans decided whether there will be a final four fire-making challenge, which has been around since season 35, or whether there will be hidden immunity idols, which have been around even longer.

"From the very first season, Survivor has been evolving. Now, for our 50th season, it's time for the next evolution," Probst said in a press release at the time.

"Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans is unlike anything we've done before," the long-time host added. "I can't wait to see what the fans choose for our returning players."

Now, we know who will be facing the challenges the fans set out, and speculation can begin as to who has an advantage headed into what's sure to be an all-time great season.
