The 17 newbie castaways, ages 23 through 49, include a gym owner, a school principal, a critical care nurse, a truck driver, and a civil rights attorney.
The new Survivor season will also welcome back Bruce Perreault, who was medically evacuated on Day 1 of Season 44 when he accidentally hit his head on a wooden beam during the season's first challenge. Bruce sustained a head injury that had lingering effects hours after the challenge.
Longtime Survivor host Jeff Probst said on a March episode of his "On Fire" podcast that Bruce didn't get his "fair share" of Survivor.
"Here's the announcement: we are officially inviting Bruce to play Survivor again," Jeff confirmed. "First player of the new era invited back. It's kind of exciting. It just felt like the right call."
After 23 years on television and 652 episodes, Survivor's 45th season will be "the biggest season of the greatest game ever played," according to CBS, and air 90-minute episodes throughout its entire season.
And in the end, one of the castaways will be crowned the season's "Sole Survivor" and win the $1 million prize!
