How to Watch Survivor Season 47 Finale: Format, Date and Time Revealed 

You know that feeling when you’re at the edge of your seat, waiting for the big finale? The suspense, the drama, the final moments of the game that could change everything. Well, get ready to hold on just a little longer because this year’s Survivor finale is going to be different. 

We’re talking about two weeks of intense drama, and you’ll need some extra patience. Why? Because, instead of the usual three-hour finale, this year’s Season 47 finale will be split into two parts.

The only difference this time is that the show will air over two weeks. The suspense is going to build up even more, and you won’t have to wait long for the big reveal. Ready to know everything about the format and the exact air dates? Keep reading, because we’ve got all the details for you!

Survivor Season 47—Two-Part Finale Promises to Keep You Hooked

For the past 46 seasons of Survivor, the finale has been a three-hour event. We’re talking a full three hours of intense gameplay, emotional moments, and that epic after-show with all the finalists and the jury (who sometimes like to get real honest).

But this year, CBS is changing things up. Instead of one long finale, we’re getting two separate episodes spread out over two weeks. In first part, you’ll get to see the last few players battle it out to get closer to the title of Sole Survivor, and it’s going to be dramatic. But if you think that’s the end of it—you’re wrong.

You’ll have to tune in the following week. Same time, same place. That’s when we finally find out who wins, who gets blindsided, and who can claim the $1 million (via Cinema Blend) prize and the title of Sole Survivor.

It’s going to be a huge moment, and since we’re all so used to getting everything in one big finale, splitting it into two weeks is kind of a crazy new twist. Since the Survivor 47 finale is split into two weeks, the season will now last 14 weeks instead of the usual 13.

And remember, just like in previous seasons, there will be an after-show where Jeff Probst chats with the finalists and the jury. That part is always full of awkward moments, honest reactions, and a lot of drama. It’s a must-watch, and it’ll be filmed right after the vote is read, so expect some fresh, real-time reactions.

The split finale is part of a bigger trend in Survivor, where episodes have been getting longer over the past couple of seasons. Since the writers’ and actors’ strikes in 2023, CBS started airing 90-minute episodes, and they’ve kept up the longer format. But this year, they’re really pushing it to the max.

Mark Your Calendars for the Survivor Season 47 Finale Dates

Now that you know the finale is split into two parts, you’re probably wondering exactly when you’ll need to be glued to your TV. Don’t worry, we’ve got the info right here.

The first part of the Survivor Season 47 finale will air on December 11, 2024, from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM ET/PT. The second half of the finale, when we’ll find out who actually wins the season, will air on December 18, 2024, at the same time. 

If you’re a die-hard fan of Survivor, you’ll definitely want to make sure these dates are marked on your calendar. You don’t want to miss out on the biggest finale yet.
