Everything to Know About 'Big Brother' Season 25 (Including Who Won)

Big Brother 24 has only recently just finished. But we're already looking ahead to landmark season 25 of the CBS summer reality series! It won't be long before another group of houseguests come into our lives to face extreme challenges, close-quarters conspiring and game-shaking powers as they avoid being nominated and subsequently evicted from the house.

Read on to find out everything we know so far about Big Brother season 25 (BB25).

Will Big Brother be back for season 25?

Yes! Host Julie Chen Moonves officially announced Big Brother 25 was happening during the finale of season 24.

When does Big Brother 25 premiere?

Big Brother 25 will premiere with a special 90-minute episode on Wednesday, August 2 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT. This will be a marked shift in scheduling from Big Brother's usual June/July start, most likely to counter the effects of the writers' strike on the fall lineup.

When is the Big Brother 25 finale?

Big Brother reporter Sharon Tharp revealed that CBS has said Big Brother 25 will conclude on Thursday, November 9.

Who won Big Brother 25?

Jag Bains

A month into the game, Jag was evicted unanimously. But after being saved by Matt, he knew he had to rebuilt and start over. As a result, he lit the back half of the game on fire. He won a record 10 competitions, controlling every week and sending people to the jury one by one. And, though he chose the harder path in sitting next to his fellow Minuteman, he walked away $750,000 richer.

What nights does Big Brother 25 air?

For the first two months of the season, Big Brother 25 will air Sundays at 8:00, Wednesdays at 8:00, and Thursdays at 9:00. But starting in September, when Survivor 45 and The Amazing Race 35 premiere, as well as the start of the NFL season, those days and times will change to Sundays at 10:00, Tuesdays at 8:00, and Thursdays at 8:00.

How many days is Big Brother 25?

With the announcement of the finale, Big Brother 25 will be running a total of 100 days. That makes it the first season to ever reach triple digits in terms of length. Three seasons have previously ran for 99 days, most recently season 21 in 2019.

What is the prize for Big Brother 25?

The prize money for Big Brother 25 will most likely be $750,000. That's the amount it was starting in season 23, an increase from $500,000 in the previous 22 seasons.

Is Cirie Fields on Big Brother 25?

Yes! After being promoted as "the most unpredictable twist in Big Brother history," the premiere ended with the appearance of four-time Survivor player and The Traitors U.S. winner Cirie Fields. Julie Chen Moonves then revealed to us that she would be joining the game as a seventeenth houseguest.

What happened to Luke on Big Brother 25?

On Wednesday morning, contestant Luke Valentine was talking with three fellow houseguests when, in telling a story, he said, "We're in the [expletive] G's room, [N-word]." Despite trying to cover for it, the moment was clipped and became viral on social media, with many fans calling for his removal from the house.

Later that day on Wednesday, CBS announced they would indeed be removing Luke from the game. "Luke violated the BIG BROTHER code of conduct and there is zero tolerance in the house for using a racial slur," they said in a statement. "He has been removed from the house. His departure will be addressed in Thursday night’s show."
