LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Big Brother' is back with Season 25, promising extreme challenges, close-quarters conspiring, and game-shaking powers that will keep the houseguests on their toes.

Before the official premiere, fans can indulge in the excitement of a 25th-anniversary special, celebrating the show's incredible 23-year run on television.
'Big Brother' originated in the Netherlands with a unique concept – a group of contestants isolated in a house, closely observed by cameras and microphones capturing their every move. Week after week, the cast competes in new challenges, ultimately voting to evict one houseguest until a worthy winner claims the coveted $750,000 prize. Since its US debut in 2000, 'Big Brother' has seized the slow summer months, airing multiple days a week and surprising viewers with unexpected twists and turns as each new group of houseguests ventures into the house. Prepare for a roller-coaster of emotions, alliances, and captivating drama as 'Big Brother' Season 25 brings a fresh batch of contenders ready to outwit, outplay, and outlast.
