CBS has begun accepting applications for future “Survivors.” The network has posted an application form for the series, available on its Web site (www.cbs.com/survivor).
“Survivor 3,” rumored to be set in Africa, is slated to begin this fall. Applicants must submit a three-minute videotape by April 13 demonstrating why they believe they can prevail in the game.
“Survivor: The Australian Outback,” which airs on Thursdays, has been the most watched show of the night since it debuted in the time slot two weeks ago. CBS has committed to producing athird and fourth edition of the TV series.
CBS also is planning to schedule the midseason cop drama “Big Apple” against “ER” on Thursdays at 9 p.m., according to trade sources. “Apple” will debut March 1 in the time slot previously held by “48 Hours.”
The ensemble drama, which stars Ed O’Neill, centers on the relationship among New York cops, the FBI and the mob. Once “Survivor” is off the air, “Apple” will also be switched to Wednesdays for March 14 and 21 while NCAA basketball takes over Thursdays.
