In this 12th season of Survivor the tribest are divided four ways according to age and gender.

In less than a day everything they've ever known has vanished and the world is in chaos. Uncertain where to turn and who to trust in this strange new world, they must band together in an attempt to survive. However, they slowly begin to realize it's not only the crumbling Earth, and treacherous people around them that are a threat, but also something unseen and even more lethal.

The first-time Survivor castaways, including NFL player Alan Ball, a marine, an Olympic swimmer, a social worker, a surf instructor, and a celebrity assistant, are divided into tribes based on the positive traits most often associated with them by others: courage, compassion, and tenacity. Together, and against each other, they battle-it-out for a chance to win a one million dollar grand prize and to be crowned Sole Survivor.

Taking the game to a whole new level, ten returning castaways play with - and against - their loved ones.
