Survivor and The Amazing Race Openers Soar Double Digits Over Last Year
The season openers for CBS’ “Survivor” and “The Amazing Race” soared double digits over last year in delayed viewing, TheWrap can reveal exclusively.
Following its milestone Season 50, the Season 51 debut of “Survivor,” which dropped on Wednesday, Sept. 23, brought in 6.9 million viewers across three days of multiplatform viewing, according to Nielsen figures. That’s up 13% over the Season 49 premiere, which brought in 6.1 million viewers in fall 2025.
Likewise, as “The Amazing Race” premiered its 39th season the following Wednesday on Sept. 30, the opener scored 4.6 million viewers across three days of viewing, rising 21% from the fall 2025 debut, which brought in 3.8 million viewers.
And elsewhere on CBS’ unscripted slate, the “Big Brother” Season 26 finale also benefitted from delayed viewing following its Oct. 1 debut. The season concluded with 5.1 million viewers tuning in for the finale across three days of multiplatform viewing, rising 7% from the season’s average viewership of 4.75 million.
During “Big Brother” Season 28, the competition series celebrated its milestone 1000th episode, becoming the first primetime series ever to reach 1,000 original episodes and even earned two Guinness World Records titles.
The “Big Brother” finale saw “Survivor” alum Rick Devens win the $750,000 grand prize over fellow houseguest Taylor Brown, who took home the second place cash prize of $75,000. Devens was also took home another $50,000 cash prize after winning the title of America’s Favorite Player.
“Big Brother” was also renewed for two more seasons, bringing the show through Season 30.

Skydance Shares Rebound After David Ellison & Co. Ring Opening Bell At New York Stock Exchange
It may be a coincidence – or investor bargain-hunting – but Skydance shares have rebounded Thursday after David Ellison and other top execs rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange.
Halfway through the trading day, the stock was at $9.42, up 6%. That nearly made up for Wednesday’s losses, which extended a two-day slump since Tuesday morning’s close of the Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger ushered in the Skydance era. Wall Streeters thus far have largely been uneasy about the company’s $79 billion in debt and dependence on declining businesses like linear television.
On the floor of the NYSE, a milestone moment for Hollywood after a fraught merger process was commemorated with the pageantry of the bell-ringing. The ceremony spanned the familiar marble balcony as the market opened and proceeded to a floor-level bell struck with a mallet. Ellison was joined by his wife, Sandra Lynn Modic, along with Co-CEO Ynon Kreiz; board member/investor Gerry Cardinale; CFO Dennis Cinelli; President Andy Gordon; and Makan Delrahim, Chief Legal Officer & President, Global Corporate Affairs.
After Ellison started the ringing of the large brass bell, he handed the mallet to Kreiz as everyone on the executive team got to take a whack. The musclebound former Mattel CEO generated an ear-piercing sound, grinning as he delivered a succession of staccato blows.
The event was essentially a photo call, with execs not directly interacting with the dozen-plus members of the media, most of whom were there to capture images and video. Ellison and Kreiz, who convened a press conference Tuesday in L.A., did sit down for a pre-bell interview prior with CNBC inside their glass-walled studio on the floor of the stock exchange. Ellison called Skydance a “solution” to the disruption of the media industry by Big Tech.
Executives will get a chance to make their case to Wall Street analysts in the coming weeks when they report third-quarter earnings results. Netflix is set to kick off earnings season for media companies and streamers on October 20. Skydance has yet to set a date for its quarterly numbers.

Every Song in the Carrie TV Show Soundtrack
If there’s one thing an Amazon teen series is going to do, it’s have a killer soundtrack. And if you thought Mike Flanagan’s “Carrie” series would be an exception, you couldn’t be more wrong. The latest Stephen King adaptation from the “Doctor Sleep” and “The Life of Chuck” filmmaker translates King’s famously brief book into an ambitious paranormal teen drama series, and each episode drops one fantastic track after the next.
Of course, you’d expect some music for the big dance – the iconic centerpiece of King’s horror story, which “Carrie” builds to across its eight episodes. But the needle drops start fast and plentiful from the first episode, and they don’t let up. We’re talking more than a dozen songs in multiple episodes!

If you’re looking for the other side of the show’s musical coin, that would be the score by Flanagan regulars The Newton Brothers, who previously wrote the score for “Midnight Mass,” “The Haunting of Bly Manor” and several other Flanagan projects, and more recently, brought their touch to Marvel shows “Daredevil: Born Again” and “X-Men: ’97.” You can listen to their original compositions for “Carrie” in the playlist below.

Aldis Hodge And Wunmi Mosaku To Star In ‘One Night Out’ At Orion
EXCLUSIVE: Aldis Hodge and Wunmi Mosaku are set to star in One Night Out for Amazon MGM Studios’ Orion Pictures. George Tillman Jr. will direct. The film will be available to stream on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.
“I’ve wanted to work with Aldis and Wunmi for years. We’ve talked in the past about collaborating, but I’ve been looking for the right project for us to do together, and I’m very happy we found it in One Night Out,” said Tillman.
Nelson Greaves wrote the script with revisions by Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo. The film, based on a short story by Greaves, follows a married couple with marital issues who leave a babysitter at home with their three kids during a rare night out. When they see someone in their house on the nanny cam, the night goes horribly awry, and they must race home and work together to save their kids.
Tillman will produce along with Bob Teitel.
The project builds on already strong ties between Amazon and Hodge, who stars and executive produces the Prime Video drama series Cross. Based on the James Patterson novels, Season 1 amassed 40 million viewers globally in its first 20 days on the streamer. It recently was renewed for a third season.
Next up, Hodge will star opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in Road House 2 for Amazon MGM. Hodge recently starred in the indie film The Dutchman, which premiered at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival.
Coming off her Oscar-nominated role in Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, Mosaku will next be seen in Aaron Sorkin’s The Social Reckoning alongside Jeremy Allen White, Jeremy Strong and Mikey Madison. The film will be released Friday via Sony.
Mosaku will also lead Idris Elba’s This Is How It Goes for Apple TV, and was recently featured in The Life and Deaths of Wilson Shedd, the prison-break thriller written and directed by Tim Blake Nelson taht premiered last month at the Toronto Film Festival.
Tillman’s past credits include The Hate U Give and Notorious.
Hodge is represented by Ziffren Brittenham and WME, Mosaku by Gersh and Principal Entertainment LA. KPE reps Tillman and Greaves.
