LEAKED! Big Brother 28 Cast Moves In TODAY
The wait is finally over. The Big Brother 28 houseguests are officially moving into the house on July 7 — and with Julie Chen Moonves already confirming reality TV alums from other shows are in the mix, fan speculation has absolutely exploded. Here's exactly when to expect the cast reveal, the premiere, and every key date you need locked in before the game kicks off.
Big Brother 28 is no longer a distant promise — it’s happening right now. The new houseguests are walking through the doors, the game is beginning, and a summer’s worth of drama, alliances, and blindsides is officially underway. Here’s a complete rundown of every date that matters this week.
Move-In Day: Tuesday, July 7
The BB28 cast officially moves into the house on Tuesday, July 7 — and that is also the day CBS will drop the full cast reveal, complete with names and bios. So if you’ve been dodging spoilers and waiting for the official announcement, today is the day to stop hiding.
As always, expect the internet to split in two the moment the cast drops. Half the fanbase will be thrilled, the other half will have opinions. It happens every single year without fail — and honestly, that’s part of the fun.
The Premiere: Thursday, July 9
The first proper episode of Big Brother 28 airs on Thursday, July 9 at 8/7c on CBS. That’s when viewers will actually see the houseguests for the first time on screen, even though they’ll already have been living in the house and playing the game for two days by that point.
Yes, that means we’ll miss some of the early chaos. The pre-tape period is always a bit frustrating for die-hard fans who want to see every move in real time — but at least the cast reveal gives everyone something to chew on in the meantime.
Big Brother: Unlocked — Friday, July 10
The brand-new companion show Big Brother: Unlocked makes its debut on Friday, July 10 at 8/7c on CBS. It features three panelists and will have a live studio audience — a format that promises to make it feel like more than just an aftershow.
Crucially, Unlocked is directly tied to a new fan vote twist being introduced this season. That means what happens on Unlocked episodes could genuinely affect the gameplay inside the house — so this is not a show you’ll want to skip.
Alums, Returnees, and the $750K Prize
The biggest talking point heading into BB28 is the confirmed involvement of alums — not just from Big Brother, but potentially from other CBS reality shows too. Julie has confirmed it without getting specific, which has sent fans down a rabbit hole of theories. Could we see former Survivor players? Amazing Race alums? The door is wide open.
Meanwhile, 17 houseguests have been teased via clues — and whoever makes it to the end walks away with a $750,000 prize. With alum involvement, a new Time Trip theme that taps into past seasons, and a fan vote that could flip the game at any moment, Big Brother 28 is setting itself up to be one of the most unpredictable summers in recent memory.
The game is on. Don’t blink.
