A new season of Big Brother is almost upon us and CBS has FINALLY announced the cast for the new season! While the Big Brother cast is typically not revealed too far in advance, this year, CBS really made fans wait until almost the last minute by holding the cast reveal until just 2 days before the season premiere.
While it was a longer wait than expected, it was worth it as we now have our first look at the 16 new houseguests who will be moving into Hotel Mystere aka the Big Brother house this season. After casting a more diverse group in recent years, the cast is skewing younger this season with only two houseguests over 40 competing in a season which will include a variety of occupations, including an AI consultant, carpenter, aura painter, podcaster, and professional bull rider.

In addition to the 16 revealed houseguests, there is still one more houseguest set to enter the game! CBS revealed as part of the Hotel Mystere theme, we’ll see a “Mystery Houseguest” enter the game, but CBS is understandably keeping the identity of this houseguest under lock and key for the moment. While we don’t know who the houseguest might be, it has been hinted that the houseguest will be a returning player.
Big Brother season 27 premieres Thursday, July 10, with a special 90-minute premiere event that will kick off at 8/7c. The premiere event will continue on Sunday, July 13, with yet another 90-minute episode, followed by a 90-minute episode on Wednesday, July 16. While the Thursday and Sunday episodes will shift to the normal hour-long episodes following the special premiere event, CBS is going to be bringing fans extended 90-minute episodes all summer long on Wednesday nights!
For the first time ever, CBS will also be bringing fans a special behind-the-scenes access with Big Brother Unlocked on alternating Friday nights beginning July 25. And, of course, no season is complete without the Live Feeds, which will return to Paramount+ and stream on Pluto TV beginning July 13 at 9:30 p.m. PT.
