Survivor 50 is coming to an island near you. The landmark 50th season of the Jeff Probst–hosted series will air in the spring, and CBS is going all in. We already knew that Survivor 50 would be an All Star season featuring, yes, that Mike White. Leading up to the Survivor 50 premiere on February 25, the network is broadcasting two weeks of rerun episodes that showcase members of the Survivor 50 cast. The reruns will air daily from Monday, February 9, through Friday, February 20, beginning at 8 p.m. opposite NBC’s Winter Olympics coverage. Then, the following Wednesday, the premiere episode will be three hours long, running from 8 to 11 p.m. Young Survivor fans may have to be given special permission to stay up past their bedtime.
CBS has not yet confirmed which encore episodes will air in the rerun list. It will be ten episodes in total, and the cast includes 24 people, so some cast members may not get to shine. Plus two yet-unconfirmed members of the 24 contestants are currently competing on Survivor 49. Several of the remaining competitors can be showcased together because they played against one another previously — White, Angelina Keeley, and Christian Hubicki are all from David vs. Goliath, for example. Maybe CBS will run the Micronesia episode in which Cirie Fields conned Ozzy Lusth out of playing his hidden immunity idol, then voted him out. Always a good idea to reopen old wounds before they see each other again.
