CBS announced today that Big Brother Season 27 will air the most original hours of programming in 25 years since the show’s debut. The programming will include extended 90-minute Wednesday episodes and Big Brother: Unlocked on Friday nights throughout the season.

In the 90-minute premiere of its 27th season, Big Brother welcomes an all-new group of Houseguests into the Big Brother House. Expect the unexpected with more hours than ever this summer and a season full of twists and turns.
After its premiere, the series will air on Wednesdays (8:00-9:30 p.m. ET/delayed PT), expanded from its regular 60-minute episodes, followed by hour-long shows on Thursdays – featuring live evictions – and Sundays (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET/delayed PT).
