"For the past decade, Survivor has taken you to the furthest corners of the planet and subjected over 300 contestants to the harshest environments under the most exhausting conditions. Join us now as we enter a new decade of Survivor," said Probst during the preview.
"This is Nicaragua. It is a land of impenetrable terrain, smoldering volcanoes and savage wildlife. Christopher Columbus discovered its shores over 500 years ago and for centuries Spanish conquistadors set out to tame this exotic land only to be stopped at every turn by the expansive rain forest of this Central American landmark."
In addition, Probst teased the new castaways will face "exciting and innovative challenges" and "something that may surprise them all."
CBS renewed Survivor for two additional installments -- representing its 21st and 22nd seasons -- in January.
Similar to Survivor's last two seasons -- both of which filmed in Samoa -- the 21st and 22nd editions will also film back-to-back this summer on Nicaragua's southern pacific coast, according to the country's PRONicaragua investment promotion agency.
Survivor: Nicaragua will represent the first installment of the reality competition to film in Central America since Survivor: Panama -- Exile Island in 2005.
