Survivor: Edge of Extinction, the 38th season of the veteran competition series, premieres on Feb. 20 with 14 new players and four fan-favourite returnees.
Host and executive producer Jeff Probst revealed that this season, each individual that is voted out of the game will have the choice to leave or get back in the game.
“Edge of Extinction is a new twist,” Probst told Entertainment Weekly. “There’s two elements to it. There’s the spiritual and there’s the gameplay. The gameplay is — you don’t know this, it’s a secret — but when you’re voted out, you’re going to leave Tribal and walk around the corner and finally come to this lighted torch with a signpost. And the signpost will say, ‘You have a decision to make. If you’re done playing and you want your adventure to end, keep walking. If, however, you want a chance to get back in the game, take the torch and get in the boat.’ That’s all you know.”
