Start date for Big Brother 2023 announced!

Ever since it was announced to be coming back, there’s been speculation over when the new series of Big Brother will air.

Now, the start date for the new series has been announced by ITV – and it’s just weeks away!

The new series of Big Brother is set to launch on Saturday, October 8 at 9pm. The launch show will be unique in that it will be simulcast on both ITV1 and ITV2. It will also be streamed live on ITVX too.

After the “disruptive takeover” of ITV, the rest of Big Brother’s episodes will continue on a nightly basis on ITV2 (apart from Saturdays).

Speaking about the launch, ITV said: “Big Brother: The Launch will see a new cast of carefully selected housemates, from all walks of life, become the first people to take up residence in the brand-new Big Brother house as they arrive at the famous destination in front of a live studio audience.”

They then went on to explain that in true Big Brother fashion – the public will play a key role in proceedings, voting contestants out of the house.

ITV also announced that the show will be followed by a new spin-off every night too!

“Big Brother will be followed each night by Big Brother: Late & Live,” they revealed.
