HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — They’re baaaack!
Russell Hantz and "Boston" Rob Mariano will renew their heated rivalry on the upcoming Survivor: Redemption Island, CBS confirmed Thursday.
The two join the previously announced 16 other members of the cast, which will be divided into two tribes – Ometepe and Zapatera.
"Having never been awarded the title of Sole Survivor, Hantz and Mariano return to compete for the $1 million prize and one last shot at redemption," CBS said in a statement. "They will each join a separate tribe of all new castaways at the start of the game, but it is the tribe who will ultimately decide if they will welcome the knowledge of an experienced veteran, or view these former castaways as a threat."
Mariano becomes the first individual to compete on the show four times, while Hantz returns for his third shot at the prize. The two also squared off in last spring’s Heroes vs Villains edition.
Survivor: Redemption Island, the reality show’s 22nd season, premieres Feb. 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
