Survivor 50 just wrapped filming - and the contestants are already back on social media.

The hit reality show's 50th season, titled In the Hands of the Fans, wrapped filming on Monday, June 30 in Fiji. The landmark season will feature 24 returning castaways all competing for the $1 million prize.

Among the first to make her social media return was Angelina Keeley, a fan-favorite contestant from Survivor: David vs. Goliath. She reposted the Survivor 50 cast announcement to her Instagram story, adding the caption, "What a ride!! 🫶"

Another fan-favorite castaway, Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick, posted a picture of a plane to her Instagram stories with the caption "Home bound ✈️❤️🙏🏻"

It's not just castaways who are posting on social media following the end of Survivor 50. Longtime host of the series, Jeff Probst, shared a video of himself taking down competition sets in Fiji alongside crew members.

Fans have been analyzing Probst's video, speculating that his less-than-enthusiastic demeanor may be a clue to the season's results.

Many fans are speculating online that those who posted quickly after filming wrapped may have placed well on the series. Other eagle-eyed social media users are tracking which of the contestants are following each other on various platforms, possibly signaling who aligned with who on the island.

Several users on X noticed that many of the female contestants quickly followed each other after leaving Fiji - nothing that they hope this means the historic season will feature an all-women alliance.

Survivor 50will air in early 2026 on CBS.
