LOS ANGELES — "Big Brother" is back with 16 new houseguests ready to compete for a whopping $750,000.
Everyone's favorite summer reality show returns Wednesday with another season full of competition, backstabbing and secret alliances. And because it's the show's 25th anniversary, fans can look forward to seeing "twists that will send the Houseguests spiraling into another universe."
"Big Brother" 25 premieres at 8 p.m. on Aug. 2, 2023, with a 90-minute live move-in event.
But first, it's time to meet the houseguests.
This year's cast features a Deaflympics gold medalist, a geriatric physician, two relatives of past "Survivor" players and two Floridians, among many others.
Jared Fields, 25, is the son of longtime "Survivor" legend Cirie Fields. The other "Survivor" relative is Cory Wurtenberger, the 21-year-old brother of past contestant Zach Wurtenberger.
Cory is also one of the Floridians in the "Big Brother" 25 house; he and 30-year-old Luke Valentine are both from Weston, Florida.
