Survivor 42 Premiere: Everything You Need To Know

The beast is back! Or monster. Or whatever it is Jeff Probst is calling the show these days. That’s right, Survivor 42 kicks off in just one week. The 42nd installment of Survivor will premiere on CBS Wednesday, March 9 from 8-10 PM EST.

The two-hour premiere will introduce us to 18 new castaways. The cast includes a therapist, veterinarian, stay-at-home mom, a pageant coach and many others from diverse backgrounds.

Season 42 will once again be a condensed 26-day competition due to pandemic restrictions. And we will see more of the Survivor “evolution” that has began. Here’s what CBS has to say about the season in their press release:

“After 20 years, the CBS Original groundbreaking reality television show continues to evolve when these 18 new players face one of the most intense versions of SURVIVOR ever. This season continues to define a bold new era of the series with the return of risky beware advantages, game-changing twists, and a relentless pace that will push these castaways to their limits. Values will be tested and the players’ motivations highlighted when the fierce competition unfolds on the beautiful islands of Fiji. These determined players will be divided into three tribes of six and face a faster, more extreme season from the moment they step foot on the beach. The unpredictable situations will test even the strongest competitor, as food is scarce, rewards and supplies are minimal, and the mental and physical challenges force players to make impossible decisions and adjust their strategies, while still navigating the complex social game.”

As for us, we’ll be back with our usual schedule and posts. We will recap the live season premiere next Wednesday, and all the new episodes each Wednesday. Be sure to stay here with us all season for recaps, results, spoilers and any other news or info we can dig up about Survivor.
