BIG BROTHER Returns with a Two-Hour Premiere on Wednesday, June 27th at 8PM

BIG BROTHER, hosted by Julie Chen and celebrating its 20th season, will once again have three weekly episodes. The hit reality series debuts with a special two-hour premiere on Wednesday, June 27 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), followed by the Thursday episode on June 28 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) and the Sunday broadcast on July 1 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). On Wednesday, July 4, the show moves to 9:00 PM for the remainder of its Wednesday run.

BIG BROTHER follows a group of people living together in a house outfitted with 94 HD cameras and more than 113 microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day.

Each week, someone will be voted out of the house, with the last remaining Houseguest receiving the grand prize of $500,000.

BIG BROTHER is produced by Emmy Award-winning producer Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan for Fly on the Wall Entertainment, in association with Endemol Shine North America.

CBS also announced premiere dates for its summer schedule, including the obstacle course challenge TKO: TOTAL KNOCK OUT hosted by global superstar Kevin Hart; and the return of thriller SALVATION.

Suspense thriller SALVATION premieres Monday, June 25 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT). In season two, the world has learned about the impending threat of an asteroid on a collision course with earth. The question is: will the truth bring out the best…or the worst in humanity? All-new episodes of ELEMENTARY will follow at 10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT.
