PHOTOS: ‘Survivor 43’ Cast Revealed

Survivor 43 cast

CBS The full cast of "Survivor 43."

On Wednesday, CBS officially announced who would be the 18 castaways to compete in “Survivor 43,” which is set to premiere Wednesday, September 21 at 8 p.m. with a special two-hour premiere.

CBS teased of the new season, per TVLine:

These determined castaways require strong social skills, strategic acumen and physical endurance. They will be divided into three tribes of six and face a faster, more extreme season from the moment they step on the beach. The moral dilemmas and unpredictable situations will test even the strongest competitor, as food is scarce, rewards and supplies are minimal, and the mental and physical challenges require players to make impossible decisions and adjust their strategies every day.

The cast, which includes the first two contestants from Hawaii (but, unlike the latest new seasons, no Canadians) and a former Paralympian with a prosthetic leg, will consist of 18 people ranging in age from 19 to 50, and, like the previous two seasons, will consist of three tribes of six: Baka, Vesi, and Coco.

You can read each contestant’s full bio here, and watch their minute-long introductory videos here.
