Have been wondering if Celebrity Big Brother will be returning to screens, Well, Julie Chen Moonves has good news about the status of the show.
Unlike a typical season of Big Brother, the reality series’ spinoff of famous faces includes a shortened season that airs in the winter time — typically in February. Season 1 premiered in February 2018 and was scheduled as counterprogramming to the Winter Olympics. There have been three seasons so far with the last one airing in 2022.
“I believe it’s going to come back. We usually like to have it on [the] opposite [of] the Summer Olympics. No, the Winter Olympics,” Chen Moonves, 54, exclusively told Us Weekly, during the CBS Fall Schedule Celebration while correcting herself about the scheduling confusion. “Summer we have the regular [Big Brother] show.”
“And like my dream cast would be Snoop Dogg, Martha Stewart, Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady. I mean, this is the dream list right?,” she teased to Us on Thursday.
In addition to those A-Listers, Chen Moonves would also like to see RuPaul enter the house and serve up the drama.
Each season of Celebrity Big Brother features a range of 11 to 12 superstars competing in the iconic reality TV home for a chance to win $250,000. Despite being the longtime host of both series, Chen Moonves doesn’t see herself entering the game at any point.
