The 43rd season of Survivor is currently filming in Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands and will feature 18 new castaways divided into three tribes. As with Survivor 41 and 42, the season will last for 26 days.
Once again, there is no subtitle attached to the season relating to a theme or a location. The number of the season is the title—this will be the case going forward for future seasons, except for possible returnee seasons.
Survivor 43 is expected to air Wednesday nights at 8 PM starting in September. An exact premiere date has not yet been announced.

Thanks Redmond. Looks like a fun group!
Would love to see the tribe divisions now. We know Vesi because of the previous leak but Baka and Unknown Blue would be nice to see 🙂
Does this mean that Omar wins season 42, and Canadians are now banned from playing.
I’d assume they just didn’t cast any this season before I would a Canada ban
A canadian did win, but just not omar.
This isn’t the cast because there’s no Canadians. I also doubt they’ll have 2 people from Philadelphia on the same cast.
Dang, two 35-year-old guys from Honolulu. What are the odds?
did some digging and Geo turned 21 less than two years ago. So would’ve been only 21 when they shot this season, not 35.
I would suggest you re-read that Facebook post and the comments. He was joking about being 21 again.
26 days again? What a joke.
Wish they would 1: Go back to 39 days, they are barely getting to know each other and it’s over. 2: Give them a rice allotment. It’s not really pleasant watching CBS totally starve them for entertainment. 3: Drop some of the silly risk or reward twists, and say stupid statement idols and especially the hourglass twist. 4: Bring back “Come on in guys”. Nobody is offended by the word guys and it was an iconic Survivor line like ” The tribe has spoken”. 5: Themes weren’t that hard to do, and since they don’t move location anymore it gave it something to make the seasons different.
I hope that this season keeps with the “outplay, outsmart and outlast” motto Survivor is known for and not succumb to politically correct decision making. I liked Maryanne very much, however, from her weak participation alone, she was not worthy of receiving the 1 million dollar reward. It was as if Romeo, who did absolutely nothing, won. Jonathan or Mike should have been rewarded, as they really did an excellent job at retaining their places throughout the game and truly played Survivor.
I think cody or own knight have a chance of winning the game
Not to nitpick since love reading this site but are these ages the correct ones still? Seen/read other places about Mike Gabler being 52 & some other contestants being a year older than listed. Maybe difference between initial casting & day 1 of filming? I just personally like to be very precise. Thanks for starting this website Redmond! Wishing you all the best!
The ages could be off a little, as these were posted as spoilers before the official announcements.
unfortunately, you were wrong. The rumored cast has always been accurate.
