Survivor 47: Meet the 18 castaways competing for the $1 million prize
Meet the 18 new castaways who will compete against each other when reality competition Survivor the premieres its 47th edition with a two-hour episode, on Wednesday, Sept. 18 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.
The series will shift to 90-minute weekly episodes beginning Wednesday, Sept. 25 at 8:00 PM, and returns with a new crop of competitors,
Included in the cast are “Pod Save America” co-host and former Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett, who finds himself thrust into a world filled with a different kind of cutthroat politics. The show, which is also available to stream on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs), is hosted by Emmy Award winner Jeff Probst.
A new group of castaways begins the adventure of a lifetime while stranded on the stunning islands of Fiji. The participants will be divided into three tribes of six and face a twist-packed season from the moment they step on the beach.
The players competing on the 47th season – including a flight school owner, an ER doctor and an AI research assistant – are fans from diverse backgrounds. And in the end, only one will remain to claim the title of Sole Survivor and win the $1 million prize.
