The reality television series Big Brother announced 14 of the houseguests set to compete in the upcoming season during a reveal broadcast on the show’s YouTube channel. The new contestants will enter a time trip-themed house during a 90-minute premiere scheduled for Thursday, July 9, from 8:00 to 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on CBS and Paramount+.
The initial roster features individuals from diverse professional backgrounds, including an MMA fighter, a rocket scientist, a corporate game show host, and a drag queen. Production officials noted that additional surprise houseguests will be revealed on air during the broadcast, where the contestants will face various rule twists.
The 14 announced competitors include Chicago bartender Ashley Trail, Austin jumbotron engineer Barrett Pfeiffer, Dallas supply chain analyst Chuk Anyanwu, and Temecula surgical dental assistant Drew Campbell. They are joined by Wildwood telemedicine executive Haley Thogmartin, West Hollywood drag queen Jason De Puy, and Phoenix MMA fighter Kamuela “Kamu” Kirk.
The remaining cast members are Maplewood boutique salesperson LaTrice Verrett, Honolulu attorney Lyric Medeiros, Township of Washington rocket scientist Mallory Aurichio, and Maricopa corporate game show host Melody Morris. Delray Beach pickleball coach Rome Seymour, Deerfield Beach elementary school counselor Taylor Brown, and Monroe Township financial analyst Yash Patel complete the initial lineup.
Unfiltered live feeds from the residence will open on Friday, July 10, at 9:00 p.m. ET on Paramount+ and Pluto TV. For a limited time, the feeds will also be accessible on the show’s official YouTube channel following each standard episode and subsequent Big Brother Unlocked broadcast.
The production structure features more than 100 cameras and 100 microphones recording the houseguests 24 hours a day as they vote out one competitor each week. The final remaining contestant will receive a grand prize of $750,000 from the production, which is handled by Fly on the Wall Entertainment in association with Banijay Americas.
