The wait is almost over, and excitement is in the air, as the 'Big Brother' is back with its newest season, and fans are thrilled. The 26th season premiere is set to happen with a two night event on July 17 and July 18, 2024, from 9-10 pm ET on CBS. The show will air on Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at the same time.
This is one of the oldest reality TV shows, where the contestants, also known as the houseguests, live in a specially designed house that's cut off from the rest of the world. They are kept under constant monitoring with cameras and microphones.
Every week, the contestants compete against one another in different activities and games while also voting out to evict their strongest competitors. The last one to survive in the house wins a cash prize. This season, the cash prize remains $750,000.
