Meet The ‘Big Brother’ Season 27 Cast — New House, New Twists, Big Drama Ahead

Summer’s here, and you know what that means for reality TV fans — Big Brother is back and bigger than ever. Season 27 is ready to unleash a fresh batch of houseguests, and CBS promises a wild ride. If you’ve missed the daily dose of alliances, backstabs, and blindsides, buckle up — the Hotel Mystère is officially open for business.

This season’s theme, Hotel Mystère, isn’t your average luxury stay. It’s full of unexpected secrets, a masked visitor creeping around the house, a mystery accomplice, and even a “Mystery Houseguest” nobody sees coming. So even the most seasoned Big Brother fans probably won’t see every twist from a mile away.

When Does Big Brother Season 27 Start?

Mark your calendars. The chaos kicks off Thursday, July 10, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS with a 90-minute premiere. Right after, there’s another 90-minute episode on Sunday, July 13, at 8 p.m. ET. From there, Wednesday nights will be your weekly dose of drama, with a new 90-minute episode every week.

And if that’s not enough, the live feeds — the best part for diehard superfans — open Sunday, July 13, at 9:30 p.m. PT on Paramount+ and Pluto TV. Yes, that means you can spy on every whisper, eye-roll, and meltdown 24/7.

Who Are The New Houseguests?

This season’s cast is one of the quirkiest in a while. CBS rounded up folks from all walks of life — from a dungeon master to an aura painter to a professional bull rider. Here’s who’s moving in:

Robert Redford and Paul Newman: A Rare Hollywood Friendship

• Keanu Soto, 33, from Miami but now in Texas, runs epic tabletop games as a dungeon master.
• Lauren Domingue, 22, a bridal consultant from Lafayette, Louisiana, who probably knows drama when she sees it.
• Isaiah “Zae” Frederich, 23, a salesperson from Kentucky living in Utah — watch out for a smooth talker.
• Rylie Jeffries, 27, a pro bull rider from Oklahoma — so he knows how to handle being thrown for a loop.
• Kelley Jorgensen, 29, a web designer from Burbank, S.D. Tech savvy can help with those tricky comps.
• Ashley Hollis, 25, a sharp attorney from Chicago now living in NYC — never underestimate a lawyer in the diary room.
• Amy Bingham, 43, an insurance agent from Stockton, Calif. She might be older but don’t count her out.
• Mickey Lee, 35, an event curator from Jacksonville now based in Atlanta. Probably knows how to keep the party alive.
• Katherine Woodman, 23, a fine dining server from Georgia who now lives in South Carolina — can she serve up strategy too?
• Zach Cornell, 27, a marketing manager from Georgia. Good at persuasion? We’ll see.
• Adrian Rocha, 23, a carpenter from San Antonio — handy if they have to build alliances (or fix broken ones).
• Vince Panaro, 34, unemployed from West Hills, Calif. Maybe the most unpredictable — nothing to lose?
• Ava Pearl, 24, an aura painter from Long Island, now in NYC. Expect good vibes — or hidden energy sabotage?
• Jimmy Heagerty, 25, an AI consultant from Sarasota, Fla., living in D.C. Might overthink every alliance.
• Morgan Pope, 33, a gamer from Palm Springs now in L.A. Probably ready for every twist and puzzle.
• Cliffton “Will” Williams, 50, the oldest in the house — a college sports podcaster from South Carolina living in Charlotte. Might surprise everyone with old-school strategy.

Big Prize, Big Moves

Every week, someone’s getting sent home. Last one standing scores $750,000 — not bad for a summer vacation locked inside under 100+ cameras and microphones catching your every word. Veteran host Julie Chen Moonves is back to oversee all the plotting and backstabbing with her signature cool smile.

Behind the scenes, the same winning team returns: Emmy-winning producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan know exactly how to stir the pot. So don’t expect a quiet summer.

If you think you’ve seen Big Brother before, think again. Hotel Mystère is about to test every guest’s secrets, loyalty, and poker face. Who’s the masked visitor? Who’s the secret accomplice? And who’s getting blindsided first? If history tells us anything, it’s that you should expect the unexpected.
