List of episodes

Survivor 41 is the forty-first season of the American competition television series Survivor. The season was first broadcast on September 22, 2021, on CBS in the United States and Global in Canada.[1][2] It ended on December 15, 2021, when Erika Casupanan was voted the Sole Survivor, defeating Deshawn Radden and Xander Hastings in a 7–1–0 vote. Casupanan also became the first Canadian castaway to win the title,[note 1] the third Asian castaway to win (following Yul Kwon in season 13, Survivor: Cook Islands and Natalie Anderson in season 29, Survivor: San Juan del Sur), the first of Filipino descent to win, and the first woman to win in seven seasons, the last one being Sarah Lacina in season 34, Survivor: Game Changers.[5]

Both the 41st and 42nd seasons of Survivor were originally ordered in May 2020.[6][7] Production and broadcast of the season was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming in Fiji, the ninth consecutive season at that location, had been planned to start filming from March to May 2020, with the season scheduled to air on CBS starting in September 2020 as a part of the 2020–21 television season, but worldwide travel restrictions and Fiji's border closures forced production to postpone to a year in March 2021, and the broadcast pushed into the 2021–22 television season.[8]
