It's not the summer without 24/7 live feeds and HOH competitions. That's right, it's time for Big Brother 27, and after AI took over the house in Big Brother 26, it's time for a whole new theme, house and Houseguests.
This time around, the theme is "Summer of Mystery" as the Houseguests enter the "Hotel Mystère." As they unlock the house's secrets, they will move closer to the grand prize at the end of the season.
Season 27 also promises the most programming in Big Brother history with supersized 90-minute episodes on Wednesdays and the all-new Big Brother Unlocked behind the scenes series on Friday nights.
Here's what we know about Big Brother season 27.

Big Brother season 27 premise
It's a "Summer of Mystery" at the Hotel Mystère. Houseguests will compete for prizes, food and status in the house in hopes of avoiding eviction for a chance to take home the grand prize at the end of the season.
Take a look at some of the key details of the Big Brother season 27 house:
- Mystery Hotel Theme: The Big Brother house is transformed into a suspense-filled hotel, complete with secrets, hidden passageways and a mysterious vibe that sets the stage for a summer of intrigue.
- Reception Area: Houseguests are welcomed by a wall of 75 key boxes, some filled with skeleton keys and other clues that might reveal themselves later in the game …
- Living Room Chess Guardians: Towering 22-foot walls and a balcony lined with giant plaster chess pieces (bishop, queen, king, knight) watch over the house, adding a regal and strategic flair.
- Attic Bedroom of Oddities: Beds made from wooden crates, rubber masks on the walls and haunted artifacts like a black knight’s helmet and diving suit make this room a spooky treasure trove.
- Sleeper Car Bunk Room: Behind a secret entrance, this train-themed bedroom straight out of a murder mystery novel contains bunkbeds for six Houseguests (the first time the BB house has had bunk beds since season one!) and a sleek Art Deco design.
- Rooftop Garden Kitchen: The kitchen and dining area mimic a rooftop garden with ivy-covered walls, sunset skies and a 10-foot round garden party table under string lights.
- Secretive “Wine Cellar”: A moody, bottle-lined cellar (with no actual wine, sorry Houseguests) is a perfect spot for whispering secrets and plotting moves.
- Victorian Conservatory Lounge: A lush, plant-filled room with a 13-foot green velvet lounge and a plum tree, ideal for quiet strategy sessions.
- Venom Lounge and Poison Bar: Upstairs, snakes slither across the wallpaper in a moody lounge featuring a “Poison Bar,” (don’t worry, there is no actual poison) a velvet daybed and ravens stealing party lights.
- Boxing Ring Gym: The gym includes a full boxing ring, heavy bag and workout gear – great for blowing off steam and staying in top sleuthing shape.
