Big Brother's milestone 25th season is set to debut with a special 90-minute episode.
The Big Brother cast includes a Deaflympics gold medalist, a brand strategist, an exterminator, a geriatric physician, a professional flutist, a political consultant, and a deejay from Australia.
"This new group is in for a summer to remember, full of jaw-dropping moments and twists that will send the Houseguests spiraling into another universe," CBS teased of the new season.
The 16 houseguests, many of whom are noticeably from the same states, will be competing for a $750,000 grand prize.
Julie Chen Moonves will resume her role as Big Brother host, and the houseguests will be recorded 24 hours a day via 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones around the house.
Big Brother viewers are still waiting for the big twist of Season 25 to be revealed during the 90-minute premiere broadcast.
Fans, however, have already received a hint about what the twist is going to entail.
Iconic Big Brother players Frankie Grande, Britney Haynes, and Danielle Reyes -- who lost their respective Big Brother seasons -- "broke in" to the Big Brother house and rolled a "Time Laser" in attempt to change the outcome of their past games.
"It is time to rewrite history and take back the victories we so deserve," Danielle, the runner-up of Big Brother's third season, says in the clip posted to Big Brother's official Twitter account.
"Bye bye, Brigade!" Britney says with a smile, referring to the Season 12 alliance comprised of Enzo Palumbo, Hayden Moss, Lane Elenburg, and Matt Hoffman.

Cody Calafiore was the other member of The Hitmen on Season 16. Cody finished the season in second place, while Derrick, an undercover police officer, took home the win.
However, something went "horribly wrong" with the laser, according to CBS, and it unleashed the twist of Season 25.
Following the premiere, Big Brother will air on Sunday nights, beginning on August 6, from 8-9PM, ET/PT as well as on Wednesday nights from 8-9PM ET/PT.
Live eviction episodes will air on Thursday nights from 9-10PM on the East Coast with a tape delay on the West Coast.
