Big Brother set to return to ITV2 this year

News in brief

ITV has announced that reality TV show Big Brother will return to screens on ITV2 and ITVX in 2023.

The show first launched in the UK in 2000, produced by Initial, part of Banijay UK, and ITV said the Big Brother House will be given “a contemporary new look”.

The six-week programme is commissioned by Paul Mortimer, director of reality commissioning and acquisitions and controller, ITV2, ITVBe & CITV, and Peter Tierney, commissioning editor.

Mortimer said of the reimagined show: “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.”
