Real fans of The White Lotus know that creator Mike White was the runner-up of Season 37 of Survivor, and it shows. Now, the fan-favourite contestant is returning to the cult-followed reality game show for its golden season.
Led with the tagline "In the Hands of the Fans," Season 50 of Survivor boasts an entirely returning cast, including two unnamed contestants from Season 49, which has yet to premiere. The show's 50th iteration will start filming in Fiji next month and is scheduled to air in February 2026.
