Big Brother is back!
The hit summer reality competition show takes over CBS primetime this July.
Host Julie Chen Moonves has also returned. She has been the host since the very first season.
Although the formatting has changed slightly, Julie continues to bring her charm to the show.
Big Brother fans have been patiently waiting for the new season, and now it has nearly arrived.
Let’s take a look at essential details about the Summer 2025 season.
When does Big Brother 27 begin?
The season premiere airs on Thursday, July 10. It’s a 90-minute premiere to introduce the new houseguests.
Who is on the BB27 cast?
The names haven’t yet been revealed, but we expect them to be announced a week before the premiere.
The producers announced that it is a group of all-new houseguests. Fans worried about returners need not fret.
What nights are the episodes?
Weekly BB27 episodes air at 8/7c on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
The Wednesday night episodes are 90 minutes long this summer, providing fans with bonus coverage.
Special Friday night episodes will air every other week. Here are details on Big Brother: Unlocked (what they are calling the Friday night installments).
Big Brother 27 might be a shorter season
Online clues suggest that the Summer 2025 season may be shorter than usual.
As previously reported by Tea on TV, Big Brother fans may only get an 81-day season. There are good and bad possibilities with that length of a season.
More important details about Big Brother 2025
A $750,000 prize awaits the winner of BB27. The $50,000 prize for America’s Favorite Houseguest also returns. Last season, Tucker Des Lauriers won the fan award, softening the blow of him not even making the jury phase.
Looking ahead, clues suggest that this new season could have even more interactions between fans and former houseguests on social media. Many Big Brother alums are already sharing their excitement about the new season, and we expect that to lead to many reactions about big moments and episode twists.
As a reminder, the Big Brother 27 season premiere hits on Thursday, July 10.
Elsewhere, two BB alums are on The Traitors 4. They have traveled to the Scottish Highlands to compete with fellow reality TV stars and celebrities from around the world.
