CBS has spoken. Mike White, the writer of the hit HBO series ‘White Lotus,” is returning to the island for “Survivor” season 50.

The 54-year-old Emmy winner placed second on the show’s 37th season in 2018. He is one of 24 returning players who will compete in the milestone season, which will be filmed in Fiji.

Other returning fan favorites include Cirie Fields, Ozzy Lusth, Colby Donaldson, Jenna Lewis-Dougherty, Aubry Brac
