The cast does not include any former Big Brother houseguests returning.
Following the first two broadcasts of Big Brother, an episode will air on Sunday, June 28, at 8PM ET/PT. The season's first live eviction show will air on Thursday night, July 2, at 9PM ET/PT. The Thursday episodes will continue to air in that same timeslot going forward.
Big Brother will continue to feature Julie Chen as host and follow a group of strangers living together in a house outfitted with more than 80 HD cameras and 100 microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day. Each week, the houseguests will vote someone out of the house. At the end, the last remaining houseguest will receive half a million dollars.
Details regarding this season's "exciting new twist" will be announced at a later date, according to the network.
Viewers can subscribe to the 24/7 live feed and receive additional perks by purchasing the CBS All Access package for $5.99 a month.
Big Brother After Dark will also be returning to Pop -- formerly known as TVGN -- on Thursday, June 25 at the special time of 12-3AM ET/PT. The spinoff show offers fans an unfiltered, late-night look into the lives of the show's houseguests.
Beginning Friday, June 26, Big Brother After Dark will air regularly on Monday and Tuesday from 11-2AM ET/PT as well as Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 12-2AM ET/PT. The spinoff's Thursday night show will air from 1-3AM ET/PT every week.
