About ‘Survivor’

Season 42 of “Survivor” will introduce a new group of contestants as they push themselves past their mental and physical limits, in the pursuit of the million-dollar prize. The season will begin with a two-hour premiere and will take place over 26 days versus its typical 39 due to COVID-19 restrictions. This cycle will also not have a theme or a subtitle, but will simply be called “Survivor 42.”

The show will take place on an island in Fiji and will keep many of the game-changing twists that it introduced during season 41; including the new format of breaking the survivors up into three tribes of six.

Survivor
