SURVIVOR To Return to CBS With Two Editions in 2006-2007

The CBS Television Network has ordered two additional editions of SURVIVOR to be broadcast during the 2006-2007 season. These will mark the 13th and 14th editions of the hit reality tv series.

"SURVIVOR is that rare television breed - a show with seemingly endless audience appeal," said Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment. "Part of that is testament to a concept with inherent drama that features different faces and places; the other part is the ability of Mark Burnett and his talented team to inject new ideas and new wrinkles to keep the format fresh."

Tassler continued: "It started as a cultural phenomenon and has evolved into a consistent Top 10 show that leads off the most successful night of television on any network. We look forward to taking audiences to more exotic locations next season and introducing them to the next wave of ordinary citizens marooned as SURVIVOR castaways."

"It is an honor that our show´s continued ratings success has become part of television history," said executive producer Mark Burnett. "SURVIVOR has been, and continues to be, a wonderful experience for me and for my production crew, and that has remained unchanged since our beginnings. I look forward to continuing as part of the CBS family, and in keeping our loyal Thursday night audience entertained and enthralled for many more years to come."
