This season will present another layer to the game by adding a new island, referred to as "Edge of Extinction," which will test the will of the castaways to be the "sole survivor" after being voted out of the game. Those who can survive the island will be granted one more shot to get back in the game.
“'Survivor' continues to reinvent itself with new energy, and this season we’ve added a new, secret, game-changing twist,” executive producer Jeff Probst said. “After being voted out, players will be faced with a decision to either go home or go to the ‘Edge of Extinction,’ where they will be pushed further than ever before for a chance to get back in the game.”
