Survivor celebrates its upcoming 40th season with a new one-hour special, SURVIVOR AT 40: GREATEST MOMENTS AND PLAYERS, to be broadcast Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT on the CBS.
The milestone 40th edition of SURVIVOR, hosted by Emmy Award winner Jeff Probst, premieres with a special 2-hour episode one week later, on Wednesday, Feb. 12 at 8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT on the CBS.
