Survivor returns for its 40th season, themed "Winners at War", featuring 20 legendary winners of Survivor who will return to compete against each other.
The 20th anniversary edition of the series unites the most memorable, heroic and celebrated champions from the past two decades in the biggest battle in the show's history, as the series' best strategists of all time fight to earn the title of Sole Survivor again.
These returning masterminds will compete in epic challenges, face the return of Edge of Extinction, which gives voted-out players a second shot to win, and tackle a brand new layer of the game with the introduction of fire tokens.
Fire tokens will serve as currency on the island and add more complexity to the already intense battle.

Its life-giving properties are truly miraculous, allowing great civilisations to thrive in a desolate and arid region, but this once sacred river now faces an uncertain future.

No other river unites a country in the way that the Mississippi unites America.
It reaches from the frozen fringes of the far north to the hot and steamy south, its fingers stretch into nearly half of the USA collecting water from 31 states.
Along its journey it brings together the people and the extraordinary wildlife of this great country.
Discover the fertile, mysterious Atchafalaya a vast wetland area ruled by alligators and one of the richest and most diverse wilderness regions of the states, where racoons and beavers rub alongside tropical specialities such as Roseate Spoonbills and emerald-green Anole lizards.
