Big Brother 2025 is set to return to screens this autumn, with ITV bosses reportedly planning to extend the series in honour of the show's 25th Anniversary.
The beloved reality show was revived by ITV back in 2023, with the last two civilian series running for six weeks.
However dates listed by production company Banijay, have suggested that the next civilian run could launch on either Sunday 28th or Monday 29th September, and conclude on 14th November.
While no dates have been confirmed by ITV at this stage, these dates would mean this upcoming civilian run would run for seven weeks.
Since ITV brought Big Brother back to screens, viewers had called for the civilian run to be extended, in line with much lengthier series in the show's past.

Last year's Big Brother saw Ali Bromley crowned series champion with a huge 51.9 per cent of the vote, while her house rival Marcello Spooks finished in second place, despite receiving boos from the crowd throughout the series.
Earlier in the tense show, Hanah Haji and Emma Morgan were evicted from the Big Brother house, after Segun Shodipo and Nathan King became the eleventh and twelfth contestants to receive the fewest votes.
During her stint in the house, Ali did ruffle feathers with her unbiased opinions on the other housemates, and in particular she clashed with Khaled Khaled who she accused of being 'fake.'
Despite the pair parting on good terms when Khaled was evicted in week five, Ali revealed that their exchange at the show's final was 'brief.'
She told MailOnline in November: 'From my perspective, I've always said that there's things about Khaled that I like, and there were times when other housemates might be calling him boring.
'Actually, those are the times where I really enjoyed Khaled's company because he would sort of get really excited about films or books or subjects that maybe other people didn't want to talk about and that I was like, ''yes, this is the Khaled that I like.''
'I want to hear more about this, so from my perspective, everything's fine. We're out of the house now, we can all breathe and hopefully, you know, move forward without any lingering animosity.'
Viewers were also gripped by Nathan's blossoming romance with Rosie Williams, but this proved to be short-lived as the pair split back in February, just three months after leaving the show.
Nathan shared that they 'amicably' decided to part ways, after they both realised they were 'better off as friends'.
Nathan and Rosie met when they entered the Big Brother house in October, and they previously told MailOnline they first grew closer after the first eviction, seven days in.
While Nathan said he made it 'glaringly obvious' he wanted to pursue a relationship with Rosie on the outside, they finally got the chance to discuss their feelings when the house was evacuated due to a fire alarm.
However, unbeknownst to them, their chat was still picked up by their microphones, and part of it was aired on Late and Live as part of a bombshell episode which revealed their romance for the first time.
