Will Big Brother return in 2026?

Applications are now opens for the next series of Big Brother, meaning that another series of the ITV reality show is in the works. You can apply for the show via this link.

The channel rebooted the iconic reality show in 2023, and looks set to continue its commitment to all things Big Brother.

While launch dates are unconfirmed, it is likely that we will see the next series of Big Brother premiere around the same time the 2025 series was released. This means that we could see the civilian series back on our screens around September to October 2026.

However, before then, viewers will have a new edition of Celebrity Big Brother to look forward to. The new edition is again yet to have a confirmed return date, but the two previous series of CBB have aired in March-April meaning that we will likely see another set of celebrity housemates enter spring 2026.
