The season 21 of Big Brother has been announced. It’s going to premiere on June 25, 2019, according to the CBS. Speaking for its last year, the long-running reality tv show witnessed an average demo rating of 1.5. This year, it will start with a two-night event at 8/7c. After that, it will also be broadcasting on Sundays starting June 30. (Check: Gotham.)

Then, July 10 onwards, the celebrity show will start airing on Wednesday-Thursday-Sunday in a week. Each weekday’s episode will start at 9 pm while the weekend’s timing will stay put at 8 pm. And the host is none other than Julie Chen Moonves. She is going to host the show once again.

The temporary shift in the airing schedule seems to be due to the remaining episodes of The Amazing Race which airs on Wednesday. Big Brother had premiered with a two-hour episode the past few seasons, but this time, the first two episodes are one-hour each.

Will Celebrity Big Brother Return?

The Celebrity Big Brother fate is currently TBD. For the last years, it has run during winter and averaged just a little over 1.0 demo rating. CBS entertainment president Kelly Kahl said that they haven’t made their minds up about celebrity yet.

So, as of now, it’s uncertain if the third installment of the spinoff would come. If it is to happen, it won’t premiere until January 2020.

Who Is on the Cast? Celebrity/Contestants/Houseguests

The list of the cast for BB21 will be announced mid-June 2019. It’s because the CBS is under some pressure from fans to pick well-behaved and respectful individuals. It’s because a handful of house-guests passed racist and sexist comments in the last season.

That’s why we don’t know the contestants so far.
