During the CBS Fall Schedule Celebration, Julie Chen Moonves revealed that fans of Celebrity Big Brother can look forward to its return. The reality series, featuring famous faces, typically airs as counterprogramming to the Winter Olympics. With three successful seasons so far, the next installment is expected to air in February 2026.
Chen Moonves also shared her dream cast for the show, including stars like Snoop Dogg, Martha Stewart, Kim Kardashian, and Tom Brady. She expressed interest in seeing RuPaul bring drama to the Big Brother house.
Celebrity Big Brother showcases 11 to 12 celebrities competing for a $250,000 prize. The diverse cast includes actors, musicians, athletes, politicians, and reality stars. Viewers get an inside look at the celebrities' lives through live feeds on Paramount+.
Despite hosting both Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother, Chen Moonves ruled out ever participating in the game herself. She humorously admitted that her honesty, trustworthiness, and lack of athleticism would hinder her chances of success in the competition.
While the U.S. version of Celebrity Big Brother is popular, the show also has successful counterparts worldwide, notably in the U.K. The British version, which has been running since 2001, boasts 23 seasons and has featured celebrities like LaToya Jackson, Tara Reid, and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino.
