Zing! The weather is getting warmer and that means it's time for the beloved CBS summer hit Big Brother. Big Brother season 25 will be getting a late start this year in an effort to shore up the network's schedule.
The reality series will kick off in August this season instead of July, meaning that the finale will air in October rather than September. It's not the first time the show has been pushed to later in the summer. The last time it happened was in 2020, and the late start time meant that the show wrapped up only a few days before Halloween.
Here's what we know about Big Brother season 25.
