CBS finally revealed the Big Brother 26 cast.
A new group of houseguests competes for a $750,000 prize this summer.
The theme for this summer is Artificial Intelligence, and the house was set up to reflect that.
Here’s a link to the full BB26 house tour, which includes the various bedrooms and the new-look Head of Household Room.
Julie Chen Moonves returns as the host this summer and will be on hand for each Thursday night eviction.
Unfortunately, the Big Brother Live Feeds are delayed, so we might miss some chats from the first night.
As seen below, the Big Brother 2024 cast includes a celebrity chef, a former undercover cop, an event bartender, a former marine, a physical therapist, and a crochet business owner.
Stay tuned because there is also a special 17th houseguest getting revealed later.
