Survivor 42 features eighteen new castaways divided into three tribes competing in a shortened 26-day season in Fiji that reintroduces several high-stakes twists and advantages from the previous year.

Day one split the cast into three tribes: Taku, Vati, and Ika. Everyone here was new to the game, and one of them would go on to play again.
