Ready to Outwit, Outplay and Outlast? ‘Survivor’ Casting Call Comes to Rivers Casino Philadelphia Oct. 22

Five-time ‘Survivor’ legend Cirie Fields to make a special appearance at The Event Center

PHILADELPHIA — Sept. 25, 2026 — Have what it takes to be the ultimate “Survivor”? Rivers Casino Philadelphia will host an in-person casting call for “Survivor,” CBS’ iconic, long-running reality competition series. In collaboration with CBS Philadelphia, the casting will take place at The Event Center in Fishtown on Thursday, Oct. 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The auditions will take place while Season 51 of “Survivor” is airing, adding an extra dose of excitement for fans hoping to become the next castaways.

“Survivor” legend Cirie Fields, who most recently competed on Season 50, will make a special appearance at Rivers Casino Philadelphia during the casting event. Fields has competed on “Survivor” five times and is widely regarded as one of the franchise’s most beloved and strategic players. Fields has also competed on “Big Brother,” “Australian Survivor: Australia v. The World” and “The Traitors.”

During the casting call, aspiring castaways can make their case in a one-minute on-camera pitch for why they should be selected as a player on an upcoming season of “Survivor.” Show producers are looking for prospective contestants who are outgoing, adventurous, physically and mentally adept, and adaptable to new environments, with interesting lifestyles, backgrounds and personalities.

“Bringing a ‘Survivor’ casting call to Philadelphia is exactly the kind of unique experience we love offering our guests,” said Scott Lokke, general manager of Rivers Casino Philadelphia. “This is another fun and exclusive opportunity for fans to take their shot at joining one of the most iconic reality shows on television.”
