Survivor 41 is the forty-first season of the CBS competitive reality television series Survivor.
Production
Production for Season 41 and season 42 were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As has been the norm since Survivor: Samoa, the seasons were scheduled to be filmed back-to-back beginning in March 2020, but had to be put on hold due to the global outbreak of the SARS‑CoV‑2 virus.[2]
In March 2021, it was announced that production for the two seasons had resumed in Fiji. Due to the ongoing pandemic, the production team were forced to modify their protocols to ensure the cast and crew's safety. This included staggering the largely international crew's arrival into Fiji, in compliance with the local government's protocols.[3]
In an interview with Rob Cesternino for Rob Has a Podcast on the red carpet premiere of the Survivor: Winners at War, host Jeff Probst acknowledged the negative response to the format of the Edge of Extinction twist, as well as its inclusion in that season. Though insisting his personal preference for the Edge of Extinction, Probst revealed that it would not be used for Season 41, but did not rule out eventually using it again.[4][5]
Casting
Following criticism over a lack of racial diversity in its reality programming casts, CBS announced in November 2020 that Survivor and its other reality shows must have at least 50% black, indigenous and people of color casts beginning with the 2021-2022 television season.[6][7][8]
