Big Brother Season 23: Meet The New Houseguests

(CBS) - Big Brother has announced the 16 all-new Houseguests who will embark on the 23rd season of the series when they move into the "BB Beach Club" during the live 90-minute premiere event on  Wednesday, July 7th starting at 8:00 live ET/delayed PT on CBS. The show will also be available to stream live and on demand with the CBS app or Paramount+, where fans will also be able to watch the 24/7 live feed and find exclusive content throughout the season.

This season's cast includes a Flight Attendant, Make-Up Artist, Start-up Founder, Farmer, Kindergarten Teacher, Forensic Scientist and an Attorney, among others. This all-new group is in for a high-stakes summer full of Big Risks and Big Rewards, where one wrong gamble could cost them everything. By the end of the premiere episode, for the first time in Big Brother history, the Houseguests will be presented with a double-or-nothing offer that may be too good to refuse.

CBS' summer reality hit will again have three weekly episodes. Beginning Sunday, July 11th, the series will air Sundays and Wednesdays from 8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT and Thursdays from 8:00-9:01 PM, live ET/delayed PT, featuring the live eviction show hosted by Julie Chen Moonves.

Immediately following Big Brother's premiere event will be the return of the romantic competition series Love Island for its third season debut.

The following 16 new Houseguests will spend the summer competing for $500,000:
