‘Survivor’ Leaps Back Into Reality Competition Race With First Main Emmy Nom Since 2006
deadline.comSurvivor is back in the Emmy race. The CBS competition series has landed a nomination for Outstanding Reality Competition Program – its first nom in this category since 2006 for its 11th and 12th season.
The show will compete against CBS peer The Amazing Race, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Top Chef and The Voice. Last year, the category was won by Lizzo’s Watch Out For The Big Grrrls, which was not eligible this year as it hasn’t had a second season, and Nailed It!
was also nominated. It’s a big nod for Survivor, which was previously regularly nominated in the early 2000s, but had fallen out of favor with Academy voters.
Survivor is nominated for its 43/44 seasons, which premiered in September 2022 and March 2023 respectively. Hosted by Jeff Probst, the series is exec produced by Probst, Mark Burnett, Matt VanWagenen, Kahaia Pearson and Jesse Jensen.
