Big Brother will debut its 1,000th episode during the new season and according to CBS, Big Brother is the first prime-time series to cross that milestone.
The reality competition series is led by host Julie Chen Moonves and follows a group of strangers all living under one roof for a summer full of secrets, showmances, twists and turns, and plenty of drama.

Big Brother: Unlocked will share exclusive footage from inside the house, extended interviews, surprise guest appearances and behind-the-scenes access. For the first time ever, the series will feature a live studio audience, bringing fans directly into the action. Packed with new segments and returning fan favourites, the series breaks down gameplay, evaluates the competition and shares insider perspectives, starting Friday, July 10 at 8 p.m. ET on Global and STACKTV.

I will stop watching global period if they do something so stupid . No doubt they will put something like ru Paul’s drag race or queer eye for the straight guy in its place . Like I said I will definitely stop watching global . As it is I gave up on their news years ago
Yall do realize this is only for Canada right? It will still air in the United States as it is highly popular every summer. And Canadians can still view big brother USA via a VPN with paramount plus
Never watched it never will.
More Fabricated nonsense with participants deliberately forcing drama.
What exciting summer line up?
There are zero good shows throughout the year
To bad this article doesnt express more about the decision. A large fan base for big brother now needs to leave global and find a new channel to watch the show. They’ve canceled big brother Canada, and now taking another big brother off their channel. Is survivor still being aired? I guess Amazon wins another subscription
This Saturday, all eyes will be on TV2 again for the exact details and official premiere date for the upcoming revival of Big Brother Hungary this year. After 23 years off the air, when TV2 Group will reveal the official premiere date for the upcoming revival of Big Brother Hungary to its real original home on TV2 in primetime this year, streaming 24/7 online on TV2 Play & HBO Max — using the Big Brother Netherlands & Belgium format set?
Don’t comment on something you know nothing about as it doesn’t say alot about you. Sorry to see the show leave
Who cares the show has run its course, And hey global if ya think this is news, pack up and get off the air
So it’s only not showing in canada after this new season?
About time, if you ask me. Nothing but mind rotting, pre-scripted, over produced garbage. Reality my ar$e.
Willow… you have never seen an episode of Big Brother, so why does its existence bother you?
Glad to see this coming to an end. Never watched and can’t believe it has aired for so long.
