The upcoming winter edition will also be available to stream live and on demand on the Paramount+ streaming service, where fans will also be able to watch the 24/7 live feeds and find exclusive content throughout the Big Brother season.

CBS will announce additional details about the celebrity season, including its list of houseguests, at a later date.

Big Brother: Celebrity Edition aired its first two seasons in Winter 2018 and Winter 2019.

Actress Marissa Jaret Winokur was crowned champion of the first season of Celebrity Big Brother in America, as she defeated entertainment reporter Ross Mathews for the $250,000 grand prize through a 6-3 vote during the February 2018 finale.

And for Season 2, singer and Braxton Family Values star Tamar Braxton walked away with the $250,000 grand prize as a result of a shocking unanimous 9-0 in the February 2019 finale.

Tamar defeated the show's runner-up, former superstar NFL running back Ricky Williams, who received the 50,000 runner-up prize.

Comedian Tom Green was named "America's Favorite Houseguest" for the second season and so he earned a bonus prize of $25,000.
