In June 2024, Big Brother Canada closed its doors for what seemed like forever. This was the second time the reality TV show had been canceled. Fans tried again to revive the series with petitions and campaigns, but it seemed like it was not coming back this time.
The Change.Org petition gained over 13,000 signatures in over two years. It received most after the initial cancellation. The dedicated fans wanted their favorite spring show back.
In May 2026, Global TV announced that it would no longer air Big Brother US. Speculation immediately started that the popular summer reality TV show was likely leaving Global TV, and another international network would buy and broadcast it. These theories were true. CTV and Crave announced that US Big Brother would air on CTV and stream on Crave in 2027. That wasn’t the only major announcement.
On June 4, 2026, news broke that Big Brother Canada would return in 2027 but with some changes. It will film in Montreal, air in the Spring of 2027, and have 30 60-minute episodes. Additional changes include a new host, Andrea Bain. The show would also air on CTV and stream on Crave.
Entourage will also act as producers alongside the networks. The company is responsible for Big Brother Celebrities, the French-language series. The 12 original seasons of Big Brother Canada will be available to stream on Crave.
With the return of Big Brother Canada, Big Brother Network Canada also returns. We’re back, baby. We’ll update the site with news, features, exclusives, interviews, and more as we head into the new season and beyond. The move to a new network, city, and production company should open the door for many new possibilities with this old classic.
Season 12 ended the series on a high note, but we’re excited to see what the 13th season brings. Big Brother Canada famously took away the live feeds and switched to Digital Dallies a few seasons before its cancellation. We hope the revival brings back the live feeds. They add so much to the series and experience as a Big Brother viewer.
