Big Brother season 20: Game On
Big Brother season 20: Game On
Season 20 of Big Brother kicks off at 8 p.m. ET tonight on CBS
Before tonight’s premiere of Big Brother, EW has obtained an exclusive first look at the season 20 cast (below). Sixteen players — including a former undercover cop, a female pro football player, a Las Vegas entertainer, and a pageant queen — will compete in the annual summer game.
And good news for veteran fans: There won’t be any returning players joining the action this season. While the last three non-celebrity editions of BB (seasons 18, 19, and the CBS All Access edition) featured returning players, executive producer Allison Grodner told EW Radio recently that she will leave past players in the past.
“I can confirm there will not be,” she told EW Morning Live. “It’s different. We always try to mix it up and keep it fresh and this year, as you’ve already seen, there are 16 brand new houseguests that will be playing this game.”
Big Brother‘s brand new season is set to premiere in just a few hours and we’re introducing you to all 16 contestants taking part this summer!
Julie Chen will be back hosting the new season tonight, which features a cast of completely new house guests and no returning players.
The premiere is actually a two-part event, with one part premiering tonight (June 27) and the second part debuting on Thursday (June 28).
Stick with Just Jared as we’ll be updating about the evicted houseguests all season.
