ITV announced last night that Big Brother would be making a comeback in 2023.
The original reality TV show aired on Channel 4 between 2000-2010, before moving to Channel 5 in 2011 and ending in 2018. Now ITV2 will be taking control of the iconic show, with reports of it airing as soon as next autumn. The upcoming 2023 series on ITV2 and ITVX will mark the first time Big Brother returns to UK screens in almost five years.
Paul Mortimer, director of reality commissioning and acquisitions and controller, ITV2, ITVBe and CITV said: "This refreshed, contemporary new series of Big Brother will contain all the familiar format points that kept viewers engaged and entertained the first time round, but with a brand new look and some additional twists that speak to today’s audience. We’re beyond excited to bring this iconic series to ITV2 and ITVX where it should especially engage with our younger viewers."
