Since 2000, Big Brother has kept viewers at home locked in on the intricate social dynamics, strategies and personalities of those who participate. The CBS reality show has aired 26 seasons, and the premise follows a group of Houseguests all living under one roof, completely isolated from the outside world. Within this house, they’re monitored 24/7 via cameras and microphones, and their time in isolation emphasizes their differences, sometimes-clashing personalities and differing beliefs. As the series progresses, contestants compete in a series of challenges and face eviction, with only one person coming out victorious in the end, taking home a large cash prize. With season 27 set to hit screens soon, check out everything we know about the new season of Big Brother on CBS.

The 27th season of the hit reality show kicks off on July 10. The premiere episode will be 90 minutes long, with an additional 90-minute episode airing on Sunday, July 13. Both of these episodes will be showing at 8:00 p.m., with the season hosted by Julie Chen Moonves. With a season unlike any other, after the premiere on Thursday, July 10, the season will continue with 90-minute episodes on Wednesdays, hour-long episodes on Thursdays, and hour-long episodes on Sundays—but that’s not all! 

“Houseguests will enter the enigmatic Hotel Mystère, a place where secrets lurk behind every door and nothing is as it seems,” teased a press release. “In a season full of surprises, the premiere will be filled with unexpected twists and turns including a masked visitor, a secret accomplice and the shocking arrival of a ‘Mystery Houseguest; whose identity will remain under wraps…at least for now.”
