Season chronology

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. 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, 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. For the first time since Survivor: Borneo, the winner was revealed at Final Tribal Council immediately after the jury cast their votes.

Production and broadcast of season 41 was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The season was filmed in Fiji, the ninth consecutive season at that location. It was planned for filming to take place 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. Worldwide travel restrictions and Fiji's border closures forced production to postpone to a year later, starting filming in March 2021. The broadcast was pushed into the 2021–22 television season.
