Big Brother Season 27 Kicks Off: Know When And Where To Watch, Streaming Options
Big Brother 27 - The stage is set. The lights are dim. Hotel Mystère has welcomed its first batch of guests but do not let the chandeliers and velvet drapes fool you. Behind every door hides something darker. Yes, 'Big Brother' is back. Season 27 kicked off on Thursday (July 10) with a 90-minute special that left viewers stunned, confused and begging for more. This year's twist? A haunted hotel-style set. A shadowy masked figure. One mystery houseguest no one has seen. And a game soaked in mind games and manipulation. CBS has titled it 'Big Brother: A Summer of Mystery'. And it is living up to every bit of the hype. 'Each item in the house has a purpose,' host Julie Chen Moonves said, giving fans a reason to look twice at every wallpaper pattern and lampshade. Nothing is random. Everything means something. Seventeen contestants stepped into the eerie house, each with a story and strategy. Among them are a professional bull rider, a dungeon master, an aura painter, a marketing manager, an AI consultant, an event curator and an attorney. The prize? A staggering $750,000 – but they will have to survive lies, alliances, betrayals and an environment designed to mess with their heads. More than 100 cameras and microphones follow their every step, every whisper and every mistake. No corner is safe. No moment is private. Here is how the madness unfolds each week on CBS: Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET – 90-minute chaos Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET – 60-minute eviction drama Sundays at 8 p.m. ET – 60-minute weekend twists Another 90-minute episode drops Sunday (July 13) to keep the tension boiling through week one. And for those who want everything, the live feeds go live Sunday night (July 13) at 9:30 p.m. ET on Paramount+ Premium and Pluto TV. No edits. No filters. Just raw strategy and real-time meltdowns. Still hungry? Catch 'Big Brother: Unlocked' every other Friday starting July 25, airing 8 to 9 p.m. ET. It is the extra dish of drama, packed with footage too wild or too weird for prime time. Now let us talk how to tune in. Streaming and Watching Options: Stream full episodes after broadcast Paramount+ Premium: Live episodes + 24/7 feeds Paramount+ Essential: On-demand episodes (next day) DirecTV: Plans from $59.99/month with a free 5-day trial Hulu + Live TV: Starts at $82.99/month with a 3-day trial fuboTV: $20 off your first month after a 7-day free trial YouTube TV, SlingTV, Hulu + LiveTV: All include CBS live access Amazon Prime Video/Hulu Add-On: Add Paramount+ Premium for $12.99/month. A $0.99/month deal for two months is available until July 13. This is no ordinary season. Bunk beds – unused since Big Brother's first season in 2000 – are back, a nod to the chaos of the past. The set itself feels like a puzzle. Every painting, hallway and rug might be part of something bigger. Someone inside that house is wearing a mask. Someone else is not who they say they are. And one contestant? No one even knows yet who they are. What does all this mean? Uncertainty. Paranoia. Drama. Which, after 25 years, is exactly what keeps 'Big Brother' alive. Get ready. The house has eyes. The walls have ears. And this summer, every alliance comes with a price. The games have begun, and in Hotel Mystère, trust is the most dangerous lie of all.

Big Brother Season 27: Premiere date, new twists and everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 8, 2025, 19:00 IST Last updated June 8, 2025, 16:30 IST Big Brother Season 27 is set to return in summer 2025, promising fans another thrilling chapter of the iconic reality show. Known for its intense competitions, strategic gameplay, and unexpected twists, Big Brother continues to captivate audiences after 25 years on CBS. Here's everything we know so far about Big Brother Season 27. Big Brother Season 27 Premiere Date Big Brother Season 27 will premiere on Thursday, July 10, 2025, with a 90-minute episode airing at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. The season kicks off with a second 90-minute episode on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at the same time. Following the premiere week, the show will settle into its traditional schedule of three weekly episodes on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT. New Addition: Big Brother: Unlocked A major highlight for Season 27 is the introduction of a new companion show, Big Brother: Unlocked, airing every other Friday at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT, starting July 25, 2025, and continuing on August 8, August 22, September 5, September 19, and September 26. This biweekly show will feature three Big Brother All-Stars offering insider perspectives, analyzing gameplay, and sharing never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews, and behind-the-scenes access. While the specific All-Stars hosting the show haven't been announced, past seasons featured winners like Cody Calafiore, Taylor Hale, and Jag Bains, hinting at possible returnees. This new format adds up to four and a half hours of weekly Big Brother content, making Season 27 the 'biggest season ever,' as marketed by CBS. Cast and Houseguests CBS has confirmed that Big Brother Season 27 will feature an all-new group of houseguests, ruling out a returnee or All-Stars season, despite speculation following the show's 25th anniversary. The cast is expected to follow the recent trend of 16 contestants, though the official lineup typically isn't revealed until days before the premiere. Casting is already underway, with applications open since before the Big Brother 26 finale, as confirmed by casting director Jesse Tannenbaum. Gameplay and Twists While specific twists for Season 27 remain under wraps, producers have hinted at retaining elements from Big Brother 26's popular AI Arena twist, which introduced a three-nominee system and a live competition for safety. Executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan teased that the 'essence' of this twist is likely to return, adding unpredictability to evictions. The core gameplay will stay true to Big Brother's format: houseguests compete in Head of Household (HoH) and Power of Veto (PoV) competitions, strategize in alliances, and face weekly evictions, all vying for the $750,000 grand prize. The season is expected to last between 80 to 90 days, aligning with recent seasons, though Big Brother 25's record-breaking 100-day run raised the bar for extended gameplay. How to Watch Big Brother Season 27 Fans can watch Big Brother Season 27 live on CBS or stream episodes on Paramount+ with Showtime, which also offers 24/7 live feeds for real-time house action. Pluto TV will provide additional live feed access, though Paramount+ Essential subscribers can only watch episodes the day after they air. The live feeds, a fan-favorite feature, may lack the flashback feature again this season, based on cost-cutting measures seen in Big Brother 26. Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
