Survivor is back for its 46th season this week, and fans are growing in anticipation for more trials and tribulations. The highly acclaimed reality competition show returns to CBS with its two-hour premiere airing on Wednesday, February 28, at 8 p.m. EST.
CBS have once again sent 18 contestants (castaways) to an island in Fiji as they battle it out to survive and win the $1 million grand prize. The castaways will be divided into tribes and will try to survive by working with one another to find food, build shelter and fire. They will also participate in several challenges to try and win immunity and rewards.
This is the 14th consecutive season of the Survivor series taking place in Fiji, which has become an iconic destination for the show. Season 45 was a hit, with Dee Valladares coming out triumphant.
Jeff Probst returns as host. He has been a mainstay in the show since it first aired in 2000. Fans won't have to wait long to see the Emmy-award-winning host get to grips with the new cast.
Where can fans watch Survivor Season 46?
Every episode of Survivor Season 46 will air on CBS and Paramount+ on Wednesdays at 8 PM EST.
Paramount + with Showtime subscribers can access a live feed of the episodes through their local CBS affiliate and have the option of watching on demand. Unfortunately, Paramount+ Essential subscribers can't stream the show live but can catch up on demand the next day.
This season follows the previous season's format with the first two episodes airing as two-hour installments (8 p.m. - 10 p.m. EST). The following episodes will then return to the show's normal runtime of 90 minutes (8 p.m. - 9 p.m.).
