Big Brother is Back: All New Celebrity Edition

Chaz Young, Staff Writer

Celebrity Big Brother second season is already off with a bang. After a successful season back in the winter of 2018, the series has yet returned again with new house guests taking to floor, the spotlight of which celebrities will be batting-it out in the big brother house is about to get very interested.

The new cast consists of past celebrity contestants from both Dancing with the Stars and Celebrity Apprentice, with a few stars just hanging around the media spotlight, including a former employee of the current White house Administration.

The cast is the following: ​Anthony Scaramucci, Dina Lohan, Joey Lawrence, Jonathan Bennett, Kandi Burruss, Kato Kaelin, Lolo Jones, Natalie Eva Marie, Ricky Williams, Ryan Lochte, Tamar Braxton and Tom Green​. Many have commented on how most of the cast are considered D-Listers in Hollywood.

The series premiere on January 21, 2019 and conclude on February 13, 2019 on the CBS Network. It will consist of thirteen episodes, each approximately 60–120 minutes long, with Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan returning as executive producers for Fly on the Wall Entertainment, in association with Endemol Shine North America.

This season also comes with a little bit of controversy. The network confirmed on November 27, 2018 that ​Julie Chen Moonveswill continue her role as host despite media speculation that she may not return after her husband Les Moonves departure from CBS Corporation due to sexual misconduct allegations against him.

The season will follow a similar format to the first season where a group of celebrities, known as Houseguests, will live in the Big Brother House under constant surveillance with no contact with the outside world.

The series airs at basically everyday in-different time slots on the CBS Network.
