Survivor 47 is scheduled to release on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT on CBS. The season will cover gameplay of only 26 days. Season 47 is expected to have 13 episodes like its previous seasons, with a runtime of 90 minutes each.
While the show featured different locations for its initial seasons, they have stuck with Fiji Islands since season 33, and the upcoming season has been shot in the same location.
The synopsis of the Survivor season is as follows:
"In this long-running reality competition show, sixteen people are split into two tribes and must survive off the land in various rural locales. Each week, they compete in challenges for resources, luxuries, or immunity — and each week, one person is voted out by their teammates, losing their chance at being the sole Survivor."

Survivor season 47 cast and host
Survivor 47 cast hasn't been announced yet. This season, fans will get a brand-new batch of contestants fighting for the grand prize. Viewers can expect to have a diverse cast. In 2020, CBS introduced diversity casting rules which mentioned that 50% of the cast should be made up of Indigenous, Black, and People of Color.
Longtime Survivor star Jeff Probst will be reprising his role as the host of the Survivor 47. Probst announced that no Survivor alumni will be returning for seasons 47, 48, and 49. However, season 50 will take a different route and will include all returning players.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly on April 24, 2024, host Jon Lovett said that they had not planned for the 50th season yet.
Later during a Survivor Q&A event with EW on Saturday, April 28, 2024, Probst revealed that they have planned to shoot the season 50 around Memorial Day 2025 and the season is expected to air in the spring of 2026. Probst said:
"I feel like we should just commit and make this the moment where we decide that Survivor 50 will be returning players. I don’t know what is going to happen after this, but I’m pretty sure we’re committed.”
There haven't been any returning cast since Survivor 41, and like 40 and 20 before it, Survivor 50 will be filled with all returnees. While the theme for the season hasn't been announced yet, it could follow the The Challenge 40 route and pit the old cast against the new cast or could feature winners from the past seasons' 49 seasons.
Survivor 47 will be released on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 8 pm ET/5 pm PT on CBS.
