CBS Sets August Premiere for Big Brother All-Stars Edition

The reality hit Big Brother is moving forward with its 22nd season, to debut in August on CBS, with an all-star cast.

The Big Brother production will follow specific health and safety protocols for COVID-19. Houseguests will undergo a quarantine period prior to production and will be tested several times prior to entering the house. Once inside, they will be tested weekly during the season and have no contact with any crew members, and all supplies delivered will be disinfected. In addition, the live show will not have a studio audience.

All staff and crew members will be tested prior to commencing work on a regular basis, as well as screened daily for symptoms. They’ll be required to wear PPE and will work in pods to enhance social distancing. In addition, a COVID-19 compliance officer will be on staff to monitor and enforce all health and safety COVID-19 protocols.

Season 22 is the second time in the series’ history to feature an all-star cast, the first being in 2006.

The two-hour live move-in premiere event will air August 5 at 9 p.m. on CBS.
