If the castaways on “Survivor: Game Changers” look familiar, it’s because Season 34 isn’t their first rodeo. Ahead of the 2017 premiere of the CBS competition series Wednesday, get reacquainted with the returning stars using our tribe refresher.
Twenty castaways, all pictured above, will be competing in Season 34 for the ultimate grand prize: $1 million and the title of sole survivor. But with each contestant being a former cast member, the fight to the end won’t be easy as they’ve all “made some of the biggest moves in the history of the game,” according to CBS.
“When we started this adventure, I don’t think anybody would have predicted we’d still be going strong 17 years later,” Jeff Probst, host and EP, said in a statement. “I’m as enthusiastic as ever and love the relationship we have with our audience. I think ‘Survivor’ fans are really going to enjoy this season.”
The “Survivor: Game Changers” cast will be split into two tribes of 10 named Nuku and Mana. Season 34 was filmed in Mamanuca Islands in Fiji.
