Meet The Castaways Of ‘Survivor: Island Of The Idols’

By Alyssa Croezen. 9 Sep 2019 1:41 PM

A new batch of 20 castaways are getting ready to outwit, outplay, and outlast each other for the million-dollar prize on season 39 of “Survivor”.

The new season also sees a new twist: legendary winners Boston Rob Mariano and Sandra Diaz-Twine return to the beach to share their knowledge with the castaways — instead of competing for the money.

Tune in to the 90-minute premiere of “Survivor: Island of the Idols” on Wednesday, Sept. 25, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Global.
