Series background and info

Survivor is an American competitive reality television series produced by Jeff Probst, Mark Burnett and Charlie Parsons. Since the day it first aired in the year 2000, it has ranked as one of the most watched shows in the US and is currently considered the highest-rated and most profitable reality series on television.
