Big Brother is back for its 27th season, kicking off with a “Summer of Mystery” theme, a new house, and 16 initial houseguests ready to face unexpected twists.
When and Where to Catch the Action
The 27th season of Big Brother premiered with a 90-minute special on Thursday, July 10, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. If you missed the launch, don’t worry, you can stream it later.
Regular one-hour episodes will air on Sundays and Thursdays. Wednesdays will feature longer, 90-minute episodes throughout the season, giving you even more drama to enjoy.
For those who can’t watch live, episodes are available for streaming on Paramount+ starting at 2 a.m. CT. And for the ultimate fan experience, live feeds began on July 13 at 11:30 p.m. CT on Paramount+, offering 24/7 access to the house (with some privacy exclusions).
Unraveling the “Summer of Mystery” Twist
This season introduces “A Summer of Mystery,” transforming the house into “Hotel Mystère.” Houseguests will encounter a masked visitor, a secret accomplice, and a mystery houseguest whose identity remains a secret for now.
The new house features a creepy reception desk, and for the first time since Season 1, bunk beds are back. There’s also a unique “venom bar” – though host Julie Chen Moonves hints that contestants will supply their own “venom.”

Understanding the Game

Sundays feature Nomination episodes, where the Head of Household (HOH) puts two houseguests up for eviction. Wednesdays bring the Power of Veto competitions and ceremonies, offering a chance to save a nominated houseguest.
Thursdays are Eviction Nights, where houseguests vote to send someone home, followed by a new HOH competition. This season is expected to last over 90 days, similar to past extended seasons.
- Season 27 is themed “A Summer of Mystery” with a “Hotel Mystère” house.
- The premiere was July 10 on CBS, with streaming on Paramount+.
