With only a few weeks until Season 43 of Survivor, fans are itching to know who will be part of the historic series. With over 620 episodes under its belt and 646 castaways, Survivor has now been on air for over 22 years. Beyond the show’s longevity, host Jeff Probst has been there every step of the way to make Survivor what it is today.

From immunity challenges to tribal council to myriad twists and turns, Survivor has become a keystone of reality television. While the first two seasons of Survivor’s “new era” were filmed back-to-back, Season 43 is the first season that will take into account fans’ reactions to the prior two seasons. So, who is in the cast of Season 43 of Survivor? Will the 18 new cast members be as memorable as past casts?

Morriah Young stands out as a cast member who reminds us of the ‘Survivor 42’ winner.

Morriah is of course her own woman, but her outlook on life will likely remind many fans of Survivor 42 winner Maryanne Oketch. However, at 28-years-old, middle school performing arts teacher Morriah from Philadelphia is very different from Maryanne, who was a seminary student from Canada.

On the other hand, Morriah will make for some refreshing television that resembles Maryanne’s mark on Season 42. Morriah explains of herself, “Any space I step into I want to leave it brighter than I found it … Like, I don’t really care if you’re having a great day, I’m going to make you smile.”

Here’s the complete cast of ‘Survivor’ Season 43:

The full cast ranges in age from 19 years old to 52 years old. In Season 42, the youngest and oldest contestants went head-to-head at Final Tribal Council. Could the same happen in Season 43?

The Season 43 cast is pretty diverse in comparison to early Survivor casts, but may not measure up to the “new era.” However, we have to trust in the casting gods! Not only that, but there’s no one from Canada this season. In Seasons 41 and 42, the Canadian players dominated, with both seasons won by Canadian Women of Color. So who will dominate Season 43?

Tune into the special 2-hour Survivor Season 43 premiere on Sept. 21 at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
