Big Brother has been Renewed!
CBS announced earlier today that the hit reality show 'Big Brother' has been given the green light for its 16th installment of the series. Big Brother 16 will air in Summer of 2014!
Big Brother: After Dark, the live, late night companion show will also return next summer to the basic cable network TVGN.
Big Brother, which recently celebrated its 500th episode, premiered on CBS in 2000 and has since established itself as a summer staple with one of television’s most socially engaged fan bases. This summer, BIG BROTHER is averaging 7.29 million viewers, 2.6 in adults 18-49 and 3.1 in adults 25-54. Compared to last year, BIG BROTHER is up +11% in viewers, +8% in adults 18-49 and +7% in adults 25-54.
The special 90-minute finale of the current installment of Big Brother, when the final three Houseguests will compete for the $500,000 prize, will be broadcast Wednesday, Sept. 18 (9:30-11:00 PM, ET/PT) immediately following the season premiere of Survivor: Blood vs. Water.
