Big Brother 25 cast: Who’s in Big Brother 2023?

Big Brother 25 premieres Wednesday, Aug. 2 on CBS introducing longtime fans, and those joining the fun for a milestone season, to a new crop of Houseguests. 16 hopefuls will be vying for the $750,000 grand prize and will be put through the wringer as they compete, make friends, alliances, enemies, and more.

Among 2023’s cast are a Deaflympics gold medalist, a professional flutist, A DJ who hails from Australia, a political consultant, and an illustrator just to name a few of the contestants’ interesting occupations and skill-sets that could play into how they do in the competition. After all, you never know what hobby or honed craft could come in handy during this summer series. But, what can be expected are twists and jaw-droppers that’ll leave the audience delighted and the contestants scrambling to adapt to a new element in the game.

The fun kicks off at 8 p.m. ET on Aug. 2. Another new episode will air on Sunday, Aug. 6 at 8 p.m. and the show will also air on Thursdays at 9 p.m. starting Aug. 10. Like with every season, Julie Chen Moonves is the show’s host and she’ll be conducting the live eviction show. Live feeds will be available to stream on Pluto TV and Paramount+. Exclusive content will also release on the latter streamer.
