The 27th season of the hit reality competition “Big Brother” has returned with its new theme: “A Summer of Mystery.”
The long-running CBS series follows a group of contestants, or “houseguests,” living together in a home outfitted with 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones that record their every move, 24 hours a day. Each week, a houseguest is voted out, with the last person remaining winning a grand prize of $750,000.
This year, the cast will reside in the “Hotel Mystère,” a redesigned house with a vintage aesthetic, hidden passageways, and a suspense-filled atmosphere. According to CBS, the new houseguests are “stepping into a summer where nothing is as it seems, where every twist rewrites the rules, and every turn conceals a hidden agenda.”
Following its premiere week, “Big Brother” will settle into a regular weekly schedule. New episodes air on CBS three times a week:
- Wednesdays: 8 p.m. ET (90-minute episode)
- Thursdays: 8 p.m. ET (60-minute episode featuring live evictions)
- Sundays: 8 p.m. ET (60-minute episode)
Episodes are also available to stream on Paramount+. Additionally, live feeds from inside the house are accessible around the clock for Paramount+ Premium subscribers and on Pluto TV.
CBS has announced the 16 houseguests competing for the grand prize. The network noted that the diverse cast includes a professional bull rider, an event curator, an AI consultant, an attorney, and a dungeon master. The contestants for Season 27 are:
