Read on to meet the 18 Survivor 41 castaways and make sure you join me tonight for my Survivor 2021 live recap!

Can you believe it’s has been over a year since the last season of Survivor ended in May 2020? We are so used to seeing two seasons a year that this past 15 months without an episode of Survivor has felt like forever!

This season the three tribe names are Luvu, Ua, and Yase which are Fijian terms for flood, wave, and lightning. Here are the tribes, the castaways, and a link to their bio (all you have to do is click on their name!) on CBS.com:
