Big Brother enthusiasts will need to exercise patience as the 25th season of the reality competition show is set to debut later than its usual schedule. CBS had previously disclosed in May that Big Brother 25 would commence approximately one month after its customary starting time. The Hollywood Reporter indicated that this adjustment to the schedule was presumably linked to the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike. By postponing the start date, the network would be able to generate additional original content for the fall season. The most recent occurrence of Big Brother premiering in August transpired in 2020, as production for season 22 encountered delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Below is all the information you need to know about Big Brother 25:
