CBS wants you to watch ‘Survivor’ with the CBS All Access Pass
If you are looking to hop back on the Survivor bandwagon, but not sure if you will continue watching after the premiere, this option is for you. CBS All Access allows you to view all-new episodes of Survivor and the past 38 seasons. You can try this service for one week for free.
Sign up before the premiere of Feb. 12, 2020, and then binge every season you need a refresher on for the next week. If you decide that you like the streaming service, plans begin at $5.99 per month. It does give you live access to sporting events, live TV shows, and over 10,000 on-demand CBS episodes.
