Big Brother 28 Has Time Trip Theme
BIG BROTHER unveils “BIG BROTHER: Time Trip” as the season 28 theme, turning time into the ultimate twist. Houseguests will enter a world where rooms, relics and competitions transport them across moments in time, while early twists shake up the game from the start. Inspired by decades like the ’80s and Y2K, new powers and challenges can disrupt strategy and alliances. The season kicks off with a special 90-minute premiere on Thursday, July 9 (8:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT). Host Julie Chen Moonves returns to guide viewers through a season where history is rewritten and anything is possible.
This 28th season marks a milestone as BIG BROTHER becomes the first primetime series to reach 1,000 original episodes. Fans can expect exclusive inside-the-house footage, behind-the-scenes access, extended interviews and surprise visits from past BB favorites when BIG BROTHER: UNLOCKED returns Friday, July 10 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT).
