The upcoming Big Brother schedule is packed with exciting shows that are sure to please even die-hard fans of the show. It all begins with Big Brother 20 this summer.

CBS has presented a rough Big Brother schedule for the next year that is going to keep fans really busy. In addition to the regular summer program, a celebrity edition has already been pre-ordered. But that’s not all. In the fall, CBS will roll out a new season of The Amazing Race. The reality competition show will only use former houseguests who have worked with host Julie Chen.

Big Brother 20

The BB20 cast is nearly ready to go for summer 2018. The season premiere date hasn’t been announced, but it is assumed to be at the end of June. As previously reported by Inside the BB House, there will be no returning houseguests this summer. That will usher in a new group of people will have a shot at the $500,000 prize. Posts on social media indicate this has pleased fans.

It was also just announced that CBS has ordered Celebrity Big Brother 2 for next winter. The premiere date is still a secret, but the show will take place during the winter months. It was the success of the first installment that led to the network renewing it for 2019.

The Amazing Race

The fall 2018 season of The Amazing Race has a twist to it. All cast members will be former Big Brother houseguests. This is a result of Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson winning last season. Now, fans are clamoring to see more Big Brother houseguests take part in the reality competition. That wish is about to get granted.

This sets up a lot of possible cross-promotion between the two reality competition shows. It also gives Julie Chen a lot to talk about on her CBS show. Viewers of The Talk are going to see a lot of commercials for both shows very soon.
