“Big Brother” has unveiled its 16 new houseguests for Season 26, which will premiere as a two-night event on July 17 and 18 on CBS and live and on-demand on Paramount+ at 9 p.m. ET.
The summer reality TV show follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with more than 90 cameras and 100 microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day. Each week, someone will be voted out of the house, with the last remaining Houseguest receiving the grand prize of $750,000.
In Season 26, the houseguests will experience jaw-dropping surprises as “BB AI” takes over the house. It also marks the first time where the cast will have the power to vote in a 17th competitor (in the American version, that is).
