First Look at ‘Survivor 47’: New Season and Cast Unveiled

With just a month before Survivor 47 premieres on CBS, the network has released a first-look teaser. The new promo video aims to generate excitement about the upcoming cast, featuring many of the new contestants discussing the challenges ahead.

The new season of the long-running reality TV series is set to premiere on CBS on September 18. To build anticipation, the network unveiled a teaser featuring some contestants sharing their thoughts on the challenges that lie ahead.

The video, posted on social media, carried the caption, “We’re radiating with anxiety over #Survivor: 47! What are ‘several’ things you’re excited for in this upcoming season?”

One of the featured individuals in the teaser is Jon Lovett, a former speechwriter for President Barack Obama. He is also a comedian and podcast host. “I was afraid to do it for reasons I couldn’t even express, because if I had said them out loud, I would realize I didn’t believe them,” Jon shared about his experience, according to Vulture.

Fans appear to be eager for the show’s return, as seen in the comments. Many expressed excitement about seeing Jon Lovett in the new season.

• “I absolutely cannot wait to see Lovett. I adore him because I see so much of myself in him.”
• “New cast looks like it’s full of charisma, I love it!!!”
• “Finally a good cast after last season’s trashy and bitter jury!!! Back to how it was from Survivor 45 and previous.”

The new season takes place in Fiji, where 18 new castaways will compete for the grand prize of $1 million. The premiere episode on September 18 will be a two-hour special, with subsequent episodes airing for 90 minutes each week.

Jeff Probst will return as the host, and he’s already preparing for Survivor 50. This also follows his Emmy nomination for Best Reality Host, his first in 13 years. He previously won four times from 2008 to 2011.

The newly released video offers a glimpse of some new cast members, though details about plot twists, competitions, and the full list of contestants are yet to be revealed.
