Big Brother 28: The Final Season Announced

Big Brother is set to return for its 28th season, hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, but this installment will mark the end of an era for the popular reality series. The upcoming season is a landmark event as it will also celebrate the show's 1000th episode, an unprecedented achievement for a prime time series.

However, this celebratory season comes with the surprising news that it will be the final chapter for Big Brother. The network has confirmed the decision to conclude the show, stating a strategic move to vacate space in their programming for new projects and fresh content.

Jennifer Abrams of Corus Entertainment expressed pride in having been the Canadian home for Big Brother since 2000. Abrams indicated that the network is excited about the new programming opportunities this transition will create for Global's summer lineup in the coming year, emphasizing a commitment to high-impact, mainstream hits and innovative formats.

Big Brother Season 28 is scheduled to premiere on July 9, with houseguests vying for a grand prize of US$750,000. Complementing the main show, Big Brother: Unlocked, hosted by Taylor Hale and Derrick Levasseur, will also return on July 10, offering viewers additional content and behind-the-scenes insights. A special 90-minute episode is slated for July 12, further enhancing the opening week's action.
