CBS has revealed the Survivor season 38 premiere date as part of its winter season debut press release, marking down February 20, 2019, as the start date.
As we get closer to the end of the hellish year that has been 2018 overall, it marks the end of a mixed bag year forSurvivor.Ghost Islandwas filled with interesting characters that were underdeveloped and a cakewalk for two players fighting for who was going to win the million dollars after episode 6. However,David vs. Goliathhas been one of the greatest seasons the show has seen, striking a perfect balance between character development, strategy and survival.
Of course, there’s no way that CBS was going to stop production on the leading Wednesday night show in terms of ratings, as it was inevitable thatSurvivorseason 38 was going to be coming to television early next year. Nowthanks to a CBS press release, we now know exactly when the next season will begin.
On Wednesday, February 20 at 8 p.m. ET, theSurvivorseason 38 premiere episode will air on television for a one-hour debut. Naturally, Jeff Probst is back as the show’s host and executive producer, as this season was filmed in the middle of June this year immediately after the finale ofGhost Islandaired and the filming ofDavid vs. Goliathwrapped up. Subsequently, the finale will air on May 15 for its standard three-hour fare.
That’s not the onlySurvivornews to come from this press release. We also have the release date forThe Amazing Raceseason 31, which will debut on Wednesday, May 22 at 8 p.m. ET. It’s a good spot forSurvivorandBig Brotherfans, ascompetitors from both shows will face off againstTARall-star teams.
CBS is squeezingSurvivorseason 38 right in the middle of an impressive slate of reality competition shows, asCelebrity Big Brotherseason 2 will debut on Monday, January 21 and will air its two-hour finale on February 13. That gives a week of space from that show’s finale andSurvivor‘s premiere, unlike what we saw withBig Brotherseason 20 andDavid vs. Goliath.
