Big Brother Season 27 is set to return in summer 2025, promising fans another thrilling chapter of the iconic reality show. Known for its intense competitions, strategic gameplay, and unexpected twists, Big Brother continues to captivate audiences after 25 years on CBS. Here's everything we know so far about Big Brother Season 27. Big Brother Season 27 Premiere Date
Big Brother Season 27 will premiere on Thursday, July 10, 2025, with a 90-minute episode airing at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. The season kicks off with a second 90-minute episode on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at the same time. Following the premiere week, the show will settle into its traditional schedule of three weekly episodes on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT. New Addition: Big Brother: Unlocked
A major highlight for Season 27 is the introduction of a new companion show, Big Brother: Unlocked, airing every other Friday at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT, starting July 25, 2025, and continuing on August 8, August 22, September 5, September 19, and September 26. This biweekly show will feature three Big Brother All-Stars offering insider perspectives, analyzing gameplay, and sharing never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews, and behind-the-scenes access. While the specific All-Stars hosting the show haven't been announced, past seasons featured winners like Cody Calafiore, Taylor Hale, and Jag Bains, hinting at possible returnees. This new format adds up to four and a half hours of weekly Big Brother content, making Season 27 the 'biggest season ever,' as marketed by CBS. Cast and Houseguests
CBS has confirmed that Big Brother Season 27 will feature an all-new group of houseguests, ruling out a returnee or All-Stars season, despite speculation following the show's 25th anniversary. The cast is expected to follow the recent trend of 16 contestants, though the official lineup typically isn't revealed until days before the premiere. Casting is already underway, with applications open since before the Big Brother 26 finale, as confirmed by casting director Jesse Tannenbaum. Gameplay and Twists
While specific twists for Season 27 remain under wraps, producers have hinted at retaining elements from Big Brother 26's popular AI Arena twist, which introduced a three-nominee system and a live competition for safety. Executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan teased that the 'essence' of this twist is likely to return, adding unpredictability to evictions. The core gameplay will stay true to Big Brother's format: houseguests compete in Head of Household (HoH) and Power of Veto (PoV) competitions, strategize in alliances, and face weekly evictions, all vying for the $750,000 grand prize. The season is expected to last between 80 to 90 days, aligning with recent seasons, though Big Brother 25's record-breaking 100-day run raised the bar for extended gameplay. How to Watch Big Brother Season 27
Fans can watch Big Brother Season 27 live on CBS or stream episodes on Paramount+ with Showtime, which also offers 24/7 live feeds for real-time house action. Pluto TV will provide additional live feed access, though Paramount+ Essential subscribers can only watch episodes the day after they air. The live feeds, a fan-favorite feature, may lack the flashback feature again this season, based on cost-cutting measures seen in Big Brother 26.
