The Summer 2021 edition of Big Brother, once again hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, will premiere with a special live 90-minute episode in which the 16 houseguests will be shown moving into their new "BB Beach Club" house on Wednesday, July 7 at 8PM ET/PT on CBS.

Big Brother will continue to air three episodes every week this summer following its July 7 debut.

Beginning on Sunday, July 11, the series will air on Sunday and Wednesday nights from 8-9PM ET/PT as well as on Thursday nights, which will feature a houseguest's eviction and air live on the East Coast from 8-9PM.

Fans will also be able to watch the 24/7 live feed and find exclusive content throughout the season.

Big Brother 23's new houseguests are from all across America, with each person bringing his or her own unique look, background, set of skills, and personality traits to the table.

Included among Big Brother's Season 23 houseguests are a swimwear designer, a male flight attendant, a start-up founder, an engineer, a Kindergarten teacher, an attorney, a farmer, and a forensic scientist.

Surprisingly, none of the BB cast members are listed as models or personal trainers!

However, there has already been a casting change since CBS announced the original 16 houseguests last week.

Christie Valdiserri, a 27-year-old professional dancer from Philadelphia, PA who currently resides in North Hollywood, CA, tested positive for COVID-19 and has therefore been replaced by Claire Rehfuss, a 25-year-old AI engineer from Chagrin Falls, OH, who currently resides in New York, NY.

"This all-new group is in for a high-stakes summer full of Big Risks and Big Rewards, where one wrong gamble could cost them everything," CBS teased in a press release announcing the cast.

Big Brother executive producers Rich Meehan and Allison Grodner recently revealed to Entertainment Tonight how the houseguests will begin playing the game in teams and there will be a double-or-nothing offer at the end of the premiere episode houseguests may not be able to resist.
