The new — and 25th — season of CBS’s iconic reality show Big Brother is back, and the move-in list is set. A 90-minute premiere introduced the 16 new houseguests competing for the $750,000 prize. Episodes will air Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings starting August 6.
Big Brother puts strangers in a house together, cut them off from the outside world and monitor their every move as they attempt to make alliances to out-maneuver other houseguests to avoid getting voted out.
Season 25’s cast is wildly diverse, featuring stay-at-home dads (Cameron Hardin), college students (Cory Wurtenberger) and molecular biologists (Kirsten Elwin) and ranging in age from 21 to 63.
Meet the full cast below.
