Everyone ready for Big Brother: Unlocked? The companion show is about to debut, and its hosts were revealed online. Big Brother: Unlocked is a panel show where alumni will discuss the current season. It will debut on July 25 and air every other Friday night on CBS. Some fans consider it a spin-off show, and it will provide bonus content about the Big Brother 27 season.
“Come join #BB16 winner, Derrick Levasseur, and #BB24 winner, Taylor Hale, as they unlock #BB27 and give us their thoughts on the gameplay going on in the Big Brother house, this Friday on CBS and Paramount+,” reads the social media announcement.
Following their time in the Big Brother house, Derrick appeared on The Traitors US, and Taylor was on Big Brother: Reindeer Games. Now they are back in primetime, helping host a show that could bring more fans to the Big Brother 2025 season. Will the format work? We will find out together on Friday night, and CBS has started promoting the show in a big way.

Taylor and Derrick will reportedly guide viewers through everything related to Big Brother 27. They will present never-before-seen broadcast footage, exclusive interviews, and behind-the-scenes moments from inside the Big Brother house. And they will do it with guest hosts. Paramount+ states that they have a surprise celebrity in store for the first episode on July 25.
“We had our dress rehearsal last week and I haven’t stopped smiling since. I think you all will really like what we’ve been working on #bb27,” Taylor wrote on X. She sounds very excited about the new show.
It was also revealed that a BB fantasy draft will be presented. This is presumably where the hosts will take turns picking players whom they feel will win Big Brother 27. A draft could be a fun way to break down the attributes of each player, and it’s something that many fans do at home. Taylor, Derrick, and their celebrity guest stars will also weigh in on each game move, whether or not moments are cringey, and how the game is progressing this summer.
