Survivor season 40, which will film in the upcoming months and air next spring, will be the long-awaited competition between sole Survivors, the people who’ve won the game and $1 million previously.

While winners have returned to play again, there has never been a season with only winners—perhaps because Jeff Probst doesn’t like the idea.

New: Here’s Survivor 40’s cast of 20 Survivor winners

Season 40 was once thought of as an unreachable goal, and the idea of an all-winners season was often considered a logical end to the CBS reality competition.

But with Survivor going as strong as it is now—in the ratings, I mean; creatively, it’s had some strong hits and some major misses these past few years—I can’t imagine it’s going to stop at season 40.

Still, it makes sense to mark the milestone of 20 years and 40 seasons with something special, although the show hasn’t always treated its milestone seasons as special.

The show did something big for season 20, which was Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains, which remains one of the best seasons ever. However, the subsequent milestone was, uh, not great (Survivor: Worlds Apart, season 30).

Inside Survivor’s Martin Holmes, who’s reliably reported on casts, themes, names, and twists before and during production, reported today that “the show is inviting back a cast of former winners” for “a season comprised entirely of past champions.”

That’s the case even though host and executive producer Jeff Probst has publicly dismissed the idea.

While filming this current season, season 38, last summer, Probst told Us Weekly:

“We can’t do all winners. As a producer, I would never suggest it. I would say it’s not a good idea.” “We have 10 great winners that you’d want to see play again. We don’t have 20. We don’t have 18. Some of the winners don’t want to play again. Some of the greats are like, ‘No, we’re done.’”

“CBS wants to do it. They’re pitching me all the time. And I’m going, ‘I’ll sit down with you and show you the list!’ We don’t have it. And if I sat down and we wasted our time and I walked you through all our winners, you would say, ‘Oh, you’re right. You don’t have a season.’ We have a tribe of winners, that’s it.”

Of course, Probst has changed his mind before; Survivor: Edge of Extinction is an excellent example of that.

Specifically, he said he hated the twist that brought back people who were voted out. Of course, that’s what this entire current season is all about.

So if Probst has changed his mind about that, perhaps he’s changed his mind about a winners season. Maybe he’s been able to assemble a good cast from the list below, or maybe CBS just really, really wants an all-winners season.

Inside Survivor says there’s been a “chaotic casting process for this season,” and promises details in the future about that.

For now, let’s look at who might return.

New: Here’s Survivor 40’s cast of 20 Survivor winners

Survivor 40 will film starting after the finale of Survivor: Edge of Extinction. When Survivor started casting last summer, it said filming would be at “the end of April for Survivor 39 and the first week of June for Survivor 40.”

There are 39 seasons of Survivor that will have completed production by the time season 40 starts.

But we only know the names of 36 people who’ve won Survivor and could be contenders to return. That’s because Sandra Diaz-Twine won twice, and this current season’s winner isn’t yet known by us, nor is the winner of the season that’s filming this spring. The production could invite either of those people to return, though it’s perhaps less likely for season 39.

Here’s the list of winners, by season:

Richard Hatch Tina Wesson Ethan Zohn Vecepia Towery Brian Heidik Jenna Morasca Sandra Diaz-Twine Amber Brkich Chris Daugherty Tom Westman Danni Boatwright Aras Baskauskas Yul Kwon Earl Cole Todd Herzog Parvati Shallow Robert “Bob” Crowley James “J.T.” Thomas Jr. Natalie White Sandra Diaz-Twine Jud “Fabio” Birza Rob Mariano Sophie Clarke Kim Spradlin Denise Stapley John Cochran Tyson Apostol Tony Vlachos Natalie Anderson Mike Holloway Jeremy Collins Michele Fitzgerald Adam Klein Sarah Lacina Ben Driebergen Wendell Holland Nick Wilson Chris Underwood (unknown; filming this spring)
