Time to get on with season 44, air date is
March 1st.
Survivor Season 44 will premiere on March 1, 2023, at 8 p.m. ET. As is tradition with the reality competition series, the first episode will be two hours long before returning to its typical one-hour runtime the following week.
While certain twists, such as the Shot in the Dark and “earn the merge,” are sticking around for
Survivor‘s upcoming seasons, there will be at least one new twist revolving around hidden immunity idols.
According to Inside Survivor sources,
Survivor 44, which recently wrapped up filming in Fiji, will feature an “idol cage” twist. Each tribe camp will have a bird cage with an idol locked inside and a note on how to find the key to open it. Unfortunately, the cages are in plain sight, so it will require stealth for a castaway to obtain the idol without being caught.
For those brave enough to open the cage, they will find inside a bag containing two idols — a real one and a fake one. The player must take the real idol and leave behind the fake, making it appear that the bag/cage hasn’t been tampered with. What happens if someone else finds the fake is not yet known.
Season 44 will keep the same 26-day, three-tribe format, with the winner being revealed on location and the reunion special taking place after the Final Tribal Council.
New cast of 18 players
