The season features a “Summer of Mystery” theme, with houseguests entering “Hotel Mystère,” complete with secrets, hidden passageways and a mysterious atmosphere. The premiere will include “a masked visitor, a secret accomplice and the shocking arrival of a ‘Mystery Houseguest’ whose identity will remain under wraps”.
Sixteen new houseguests will compete for the $750,000 grand prize, including a Dungeon Master, professional bull rider, AI consultant and aura painter. A 17th Mystery Player will also move in during Thursday’s season premiere.
The redesigned house features unique rooms including an attic bedroom with beds made from wooden crates, a sleeper car bunk room behind a secret entrance, and a reception area with 75 key boxes containing skeleton keys and clues for future game twists.
Big Brother: Unlocked, a new companion show featuring three former houseguests, premieres Friday, July 25. The show will air bi-weekly throughout the season with behind-the-scenes footage and interviews.
Following the premiere, new episodes air Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. eastern time, with Wednesday episodes running 90 minutes. The season is expected to conclude in late September or early October.
