BIG BROTHER VISUALISED-PODCAST CONFIRMED TO ACCOMPANY UPCOMING SERIES ON ITV2

Big Brother (produced by Initial, part of Banijay UK) returns this autumn for its fourth series on ITV2 and ITVX.

A new batch of Housemates from every corner of the UK will take up residence in the nation’s most famous home which returns with a stylish new look, setting the stage for eight weeks of drama, laughter and unmissable moments. Prepare for shocking twists, elaborate challenges, high-pressure nominations, and gripping live evictions.

As alliances form and rivalries ignite, a group of strangers will go head-to-head in the original social experiment to claim the top spot and take home a life-changing cash prize.

Production listings seen by TV Zone have revealed that there will be a video-podcast to accompany the upcoming series on ITV2. It follows the cancellation of live sideshow Big Brother Late & Live after three series last Autumn. The podcast will run five days a week, airing Sunday-Thursdays. ITV have announced plans for Friday night's sideshow.

Production listings from production company Banijay, seen by TV Zone, reveal that the final of the series is currently planned for Thursday 5th November - which is also expected to the finale date for BBC One's The Celebrity Traitors. With ITV confirming the series will be eight weeks, Big Brother is therefore expected to launch on Sunday 13th September.

Last series, viewers crowned Richard the winner of the third series, who walked away victorious as Big Brother celebrated 25 years on screen. Since arriving on ITV in 2023, the Big Brother brand has exceeded an enormous 163 million streams on ITVX.

More details will be announced in due course.
