Survivor: David vs. Goliath will debut with 90-minute episode

As the summer CBS reality show ends, Survivor: David vs. Goliath begins on September 26 in a 90-minute extended debut episode.

Normally, CBS offers upSurvivorfans a week off between their two hottest reality shows in order to get some cooldown for fans. 99 days watching the ins and outs of theBig Brotherhouse is a lot for someone picking up the show, let alone someone who is going to watchSurvivorafterward. This year, however, the island competition will start before the previous show even ends.

CBS has announced their 2018-2019 Fall television debut schedule, revealing thatSurvivor: David vs. Goliathwill begin on Wednesday, September 26 from 8 p.m. ET to 9:30 p.m. ET. This likely means that we will see an extended debut episode where just one player is voted out of the game, similar toMillennials vs. Gen X. That season had a lot going on in its first three days, including a forced evacuation.

It also means that theBig Brother 20finale will immediately follow suit, as the (presumably) Final Three will compete for the final Head of Household title, evict the third-place finisher, see the jury (sans third place) debate over who should win, go into jury deliberations, catch up with the pre-jury players, crown a winner and hand a $25,000 check to America’s Favorite Player.

Furthermore,Survivorwill return to a regular one-hour time slot the following week on Wednesday, October 3 from 8 p.m. ET to 9 p.m. ET. The show will serve as a lead-in forSEAL Teamin its second season, withCriminal Mindsfollowing at 10 p.m. Essentially, it will be the exact same deal as last year.
