Big Brother Australia could be gearing up for a full nostalgia glow-up, with whispers that Network Ten is seriously considering bringing back one of the most iconic parts of the show’s golden era: Friday Night Games.
After a strong response to the most recent season, insiders say conversations are happening behind the scenes about how to level the show up for 2026 and unsurprisingly, one fan request just won’t die.
“There’s been a huge push to bring the Friday Night Games back,” a Network Ten insider told PEDESTRIAN.TV. “Fans never stopped asking for them.”
And this isn’t just a case of executives scrolling TikTok comments and getting emotional. According to sources, Big Brother HQ is actively talking about budgets, logistics and production tweaks to make bigger, louder, more spectacular moments happen again. With live Games firmly on the wishlist.
“This isn’t just nostalgia bait,” the insider says. “The conversations are real.”
Producers are also reportedly tossing around ideas on how a modern version of Friday Night Games could actually work in 2026, including pairing current Big Brother favourite Colin with OG host Mike Goldman because if you’re going to do it, you may as well lean all the way in.
The goal, according to sources, is to bridge old-school Big Brother with the new era, creating something that feels iconic without feeling stuck in the past.
Names like Bree and Fitzy have also been quietly floated, with the idea of a rotating lineup of familiar faces keeping things fun, fresh and deeply nostalgic in equal measure.
“The Games were appointment television,” the insider told P.TV. “People genuinely planned their Fridays around them.”
And in an era where networks are desperate to get people watching live again. Not three days later on streaming. The appeal is obvious.
“If they pull it off, fans will lose their minds,” the source adds. “It’s the one thing people still ask about.”
Nothing is locked in just yet, but with Big Brother continuing to evolve and producers paying close attention to what audiences actually want, the return of Friday Night Games suddenly feels very possible.
And if it does happen? Clear your calendar. Big Brother Fridays might finally be back.
