The Sun has reported that ITV are negotiating a return for Big Brother in 2023.

The series would feature members of the public and be shown in Autumn 2023 on ITV2, after Love Island finishes.

However the report says that talks are still in an early stage.

A TV source is quoted in the newspaper:

"ITV is the home of big appointment telly.

"They know better than anyone how to put on big live events.

"They think putting it on ITV2 will open it up to a new audience and legion of younger fans.

"They are really keen on getting the deal done on Big Brother, and hope to have something firm to announce soon.

"The talks are still at an early, and delicate, stage and the next few weeks will be key.

"It needs the full treatment and they’re confident they are the ones who can return it to its legendary former glory.

"It has millions of fans and is one of the most iconic TV shows of its generation.”

Hoping this is true. It would be exciting to have BB back on our screens.

As long as it’s not full of People from EOTB/other reality shows etc

If something does materialize out of this it will be interesting to see if they follow the BB/CAN/AU route and build the house in a warehouse somewhere or whether they'll go for an actual studio. According to the Elstree studios website the new stages that were build in place of the old house (Now called Platinum Stages) are set to open for bookings in 2022.

If it does return it will probably be a version so far removed from what it originally was

But still, it would definitely be a welcome return as 5 years is a decent and well needed break

The article seems to be implying ITV want to restore the show to its former glory.

Will it still be the same producers? It’s Endemol who own it right?

I really hope it’s similar vibes to the Channel 4 years, so much better than Channel 5. If Davina came back would be amazing.

Banijay bought Endemol Shine in 2020. In the UK alone Banijay own 27 different production companies. That said it was never really the production company that was the problem but the direction they received from Channel 5.

As for presenter I’d love to see Davina back… If she isn’t interested my choice would be Maya Jama.

The one thing I hope they don’t do is invite Marcus back.I was so sick of his over the top narration by the end.

I think Endemol
should not do this.
They have had a turn on 2 channels.


Give it to another Production business

When I watched Australia Celeb Big Brother
on E4HD and Online4,
a month ago or so
I could see how the Format can change
they did that in an Office Block.

A truck drove into the Kitchen
and scooped up all the Expensive Quality Food.
They watched it, in Horror.

That Production was great.

It’s not Endemol anymore. As stated above Banijay bought Endemol Shine in 2020. That said Banijay’s involvement is unavoidable as they own the format.

I wouldn’t be surprised however if the show didn’t return to Initial or Remarkable Television. It’s very possible it will be produced as a joint venture between Banijay and ITV Studios in a similar fashion to how BB is produced in the US/Canada.

ITV2 is the perfect place for it. The promotion could be great throughout love island. We can get the proper countdown eyes etc. And it may even be promoted on itv during I'm a celebrity and this morning etc! As much as I enjoyed Emma and of course Davina I'm also thinking it would be wise to get a new presenter on board to keep it fresh

nah, while i think they’d both be good i definitely think davina should do it - if emma/rylan host anything it should be a spin-off
