Big Brother will return to screens next year following a five-year hiatus after being revived by ITV, it has now been confirmed. The influential reality TV programme, which was shown on Channel 4 and 5 previously, aired for 18 years in the UK until it was axed in 2018.

It will return in 2023 on ITV2 and new streaming platform ITVX, with its famous house featuring a ‘contemporary new look’. The news was confirmed by a promotional video that aired during the Love Island series finale on ITV2.

A cast of ‘carefully selected housemates from all walks of life’ will live together for up to six weeks as the public watch on via the house’s network of surveillance cameras. Big Brother’s trademark live evictions will also return with the public once again voting throughout the series and ultimately deciding the winner of the cash prize.

The programme – which sees housemates live together in a custom-built home for weeks without access to the outside world in a bid to win a cash prize – started in 2000 on Channel 4 and Channel 5 took over in 2011. However, it was axed by the broadcaster in 2018 amid a ratings slump.

The reality show is of the world’s most successful reality television franchises, first hitting screens in the Netherlands in 1999. Since its debut, over 500 series of the show have aired around the world in over 64 countries and regions.
