How long are episodes of Survivor 50 in 2026?

Survivor 50 will open with a three-hour premiere. But subsequent weeks will continue to air 90-minute episodes, a permanent change for the show starting in Season 45. While first instituted to fill time due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, the longer episodes have been one of the most positively received changes of the past few years, encouraging the network to keep the longer episodes.

Considering the unprecedented size of the cast, we're not entirely sure when Survivor 50 will come to an end. But, assuming the typical network TV schedule, we should be looking around mid to late May for a winner to be crowned.

When did Survivor50 film?

Surivivor 50 filmed from June to July 2025. The season will continue with the "new era" tradition of running for 26 days rather than the 39 days of the first 40 seasons.

While Survivor took a break from themes in the "new era," it's bringing in a major one for Season 50. Branded "In the Hands of the Fans," production gave the audience the opportunity to vote on a number of different things for the upcoming season. Some were more aesthetic, like the tribe colors and the design of the immunity necklace. Others were significantly larger, such as whether or not idols should be in the game, or whether to continue with the Final Four Firemaking twist. One of the interesting parts of this theme is, while the Survivor 50 players knew what was being voted on, they would have no idea what the results are until they're out there on the island.

What is the Survivor diversity news?

"The entire culture is in a beautiful upheaval," Probst says about the petition, "and our job is to respond to it to make sure that Survivor continues to reflect our culture and our behavior and how we're interacting with each other. Everything that's happening is going to inform the future of Survivor."

Earlier in 2025, Paramount co-CEOs George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins put forward a memo saying that the company would be making changes to its diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Despite this, however, Survivor casting producer Jesse Tannenbaum said in an interview with Deadline that, even if casts do not specifically hit the previous 50% threshold, "nothing has changed" in terms of their mission to create ethnically diverse groups.

At this time, Survivor 49 is still ongoing. We'll find out in mid-December who became the latest Sole Survivor, as well as the two people who joined Survivor 50 from that season.
