Great news for obsessed fans of Survivor! (Like me)
CBS has renewed the reality series for seasons 29 and 30, to air in fall 2014 and spring 2015, respectively. In addition, host Jeff Probst has signed a new agreement to return as host and executive producer of the unscripted competition.
"Survivor continues to set the bar for outstanding production values, compelling storytelling while delivering fresh new adventures every season," CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler said in a statement. "The show’s enduring success is a testament to the creativity and passion of Mark Burnett and Jeff Probst, and an amazing production team."
The current edition, Survivor: Blood vs. Water, is among the most popular shows on Wednesday nights, routinely winning its 8 p.m. timeslot. It's exceedingly rare for a show to remain this popular going into its 14th year on the air, but with any luck, the Survivor train won't be losing steam any time soon.
