Season 25 of "Big Brother" is on the way.
A new season of one of reality TV’s longest-running series is just days away.
Big Brother, the guilty-pleasure show that puts an ever-watchful eye on a group of strangers-turned-roommates, is set to soon give its faithful fans a fresh dose of voyeuristic thrills and its new cast a summer they’ll never forget.
Read on for details about when to tune in, how to watch and just who you’ll be watching during Season 25.
Big Brother will kick off with a live 90-minute premiere episode Wednesday, August 2, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+. That’s when 16 new Houseguests will move in together and meet each other for the first time.
According to returning host Julie Chen Moonves, there just aren’t enough vague buzzwords to describe what’s in store for viewers this time around.
“Fans can expect more, more, more, bigger, better, wilder—new twists, new turns, new faces,” she teased in a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight. “We are going so big, it’s past infinity. It’s infinity to the infinity power.”
Starting Sunday, August 6, CBS and Paramount+ will air three new episodes of Big Brother each week, including taped spots on Sundays and Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. ET and a live eviction show every Thursday night at 9 p.m. ET.
But episodes are just a small part of the content to come. As in seasons past, viewers will also be able to follow along with the action in the Big Brother house as it happens via live feeds.
Paramount+ will offer live stream access and other exclusive content throughout the season.
A Monday press release promised that the Houseguests competing for the $750,000 prize this summer—which include a Deaflympics gold medalist, a geriatric physician and a molecular biologist—will face enough twists and turns to send them “spiraling into another universe.”
