The start date for season 27 of “Big Brother” is unclear, as of May 9.
However, the show’s social media team recently teased to an upcoming announcement in an Instagram Reel, showing computer folders, with one named “BB27.” The video then showed a file, seemingly named “BB27 date announcement,” with a photo of season 26 star Quinn Martin getting dragged into the “BB27” folder. The words “coming soon” then appeared on the video.
Host Julie Chen Moonves also posted a teaser May 8 of a photo of her on the “Big Brother” stage but appearing as a caller ID that said “Summer is calling.” She then captioned the post “Ready to answer?”
The show started July 17 last season, so a post-Fourth of July premiere is probably a safe bet. Here’s a list of the last few premiere dates:
Will there be returning houseguests on ‘Big Brother’ this year?
The answer to this is also unclear, but the show has been hosting casting calls, likely signaling a plan to have new houseguests. That, of course, doesn’t cancel out the possibility of returning players joining them.
Is Julie still hosting ‘Big Brother’?
Yes, that appears to be the case, per Instagram posts from Chen Mooves and the show.
Who won ‘Big Brother’ 2024?
Chelsie Baham came out victorious in the final two over Makensy Manbeck by a vote of 7-0.
How many seasons of ‘Big Brother’ are there?
Technically, there are 26 seasons of “Big Brother.” But there have been three seasons of “Celebrity Big Brother,” which Chen Moonves told Us Weekly she expects to return during an upcoming winter.
There was also one season of the spinoff series “Big Brother: Over the Top,” and the “Big Brother Reindeer Games” holiday special aired for the first time in 2023.
