Survivor: Edge of Extinction is the upcoming 38th season of the American competitive reality television series Survivor, to air on CBS. The season will feature 14 new contestants competing with four returning players. It was the seventh season to be filmed in Fiji, and marks the 12th season to feature returning players.

Production

This season introduces a new mechanic, wherein contestants who are voted off have an option to take a boat to an area known as the "Edge of Extinction" rather than leave the game permanently. The Edge of Extinction is a desolate, abandoned beach with even fewer amenities than the main island: contestants on the Edge of Extinction may either wait for an opportunity to re-join the main game, or choose to leave the game at any point. The remaining contestants will initially be unaware of this twist. Host Jeff Probst explained that the "Extinction Island" concept was the result of a goal to "try to get a little deeper psychologically, a little deeper spiritually", asking contestants, "is there a possibility of the spiritual death and rebirth that you seek in life, where you realize something deeper about yourself?"^[2]^[3]

Contestants

The 14 new contestants include educator Ron Clark.^[4]
