CBS will give a sizable portion of its February schedule over to the 50th season of Survivor.
The milestone season is a centerpiece of the network’s midseason slate, which also includes the Yellowstone spinoff Y: Marshals, FBI offshoot CIA and a pair of unscripted shows in Harlan Coben’s Final Twist and America’s Culinary Cup.
In addition to a three-hour premiere for the all-star Survivor season on Feb. 25, CBS will re-air 10 episodes from the show’s past highlighting key moments from the season 50 cast’s previous times playing the game. Repeats of Survivor on the network are a rarity, although some prior seasons stream on Paramount+.
The reruns will air the weeks of Feb. 9 and Feb. 16, giving a number of other CBS shows a rest opposite the Winter Olympics on NBC.
Harlan Coben’s Final Twist, a true crime series hosted by the prolific mystery author, is set to premiere Jan. 7 along with game shows Hollywood Squares and The Price Is Right at Night, taking over the Wednesday schedule in between Survivor seasons. The rest of CBS’ new midseason entries will premiere in late February and early March, after the Olympics end.
CIA, originally slated for fall before being pushed back, will follow FBI on Monday nights starting Feb. 23. The series from Dick Wolf and Wolf Entertainment, which has already gone through a showrunner change and some recasting, stars Tom Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss as agency operatives.
Y: Marshals, featuring Luke Grimes reprising his Yellowstone role as Kayce Dutton, will join Tracker and a relocated Watson on Sundays beginning March 1. America’s Culinary Cup, hosted by Padma Lakshmi, will premiere March 4 after Survivor.
CBS also has the Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 11 and the Grammys on Feb. 1.
