Big Brother to air on ITV2 in 2023
 

oh my god

If they bring it back we also need live feed.

Big brother to possibly return, on itv 2.
 

Unbelievable news but it’s all I’m hearing about now. Yea it does appear to be possibly coming back on ITV 2 in Autumn 2023. I’m so happy right now you don’t understand LOL https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/18278673...ck-return/amp/

Omg brilliant news!

Omg my childhood dream was to be in big brother

Apply Lewis xx it would be amazing to have another Tibb housemate

wym another… who’s been on it before?

IIRC Raph Korine from BB 2017.

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.

News article - ITV in talks for Big Brother to return in 2023 - report
 

James has posted a new TiBB frontpage article.

Excerpt of article quoted above. Read full article here - https://www.thisisbigbrother.com/bbr...23-report.html

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.

Here’s hoping :fc:

Yes ITV2HD
could be the ideal location

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.

I hope this isn't just a rumour!!

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

Emma or rylan to host this please

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

Surely it’s gotta be Davina hosting? She said it herself she’d do a Big Brother revival. I’m not sure Emma would do it and I’d have Rylan do a side show.

I'm a little surprised at this news given that ITV 2 already have Love island

Big Brother suffered from running against Love Island. If ITV2 have the show that won't happen - they'll space things out.

The old Elstree Studios location clearly isn't an option has they've redeveloped the site but there are other studio options available, including round the corner at Sky's brand new place.

I hope this rumour comes to pass.

Well they could build a house within one of the new studios at Elstree, or indeed in the back George Lucas stage which could accomodate an outdoor area behind it.

I think though they'll go for kitting an existing house out with cameras - that is what many recent revivals have done and studio space really is at a premium nowadays - must be well over 100 new sound stages being built around the London area but many are already pre-booked by the streamers or big movie companies.


If ITV really want to take it back to the glory days live feeds is a must and I do wonder if ITVX is the driving force behind this. BB Live feed could be such a driver to get people to buy the premium level service, and considering how long they've been absent what is old would become new again. Despite the narrative they caused all sorts of problems the reality is virtually all complaints against them were rejected and the measures in place to avoid legal issues generally worked.


For me the only person from the BB hosting alumni I'd be happy with is Rylan. A new narrator is an absolute must - personally found Marcus a real barrier to getting back into the show in the C5 years but I think regardless of opinion the style of narration for reality shows has moved on, so a fresher wittier voice is required.

Spin-offs need to be kept to the minimum - concentrate efforts on the main show and a decent eviction show (not just highlights and eviction), with any spin off airing just once a week. Far better to pack an hour with content once a week than have to stretch it out over one show per night. Ideally they'd have an accompanying app.


And as much as I love the BB Canada format I don't think that is right for a revival. What is important is the core format is prominent, so they don't go down the C5 route of a nominations "twist" every week which appears to be thrown in post nominations to save their favourites. Keep the nomination process, but I'd be happy to give a gentle nod to a bit of competition and strategy by bringing over the Nomination Superpower from the Channel 9 era in Australia. That gives a winner of a competition each week some power to affect the nominations, and within that you can vary how it works each week but always within the confines of a regular weekly format point so it doesn't feel like successive random twists.

Other than that keep it simple and streamlined (and don't confuse that for boring). Superpower task at the weekend, weekly task during the week, nominations at the beginning of the week, evictions at the end (if they keep them to Friday). And give viewers one night off a week.

I guess a lot depends on whether it was a 1-year deal to test the waters or an initial commitment for 2 or 3 years. With no winter CBB they'd be unlikely to have a house structure left lying around on a studio backlot like at Elstree.

I'm really exited as is my mum

Hope Davina hosts again

This is just great news. I hope they go back to the original format with 'normal' people....:cheer2:

if you mean normal as in like not everyone being an influencer, then yea i agree lol but ofc, now more people have social media i wouldn’t be surprised if at least 2 of them had a following. speaking of normal people, does it say anything about there being a CBB too? or nah

Yes Brekkie

Yes Paying for ITVX
to get the Live Feed.

Rumour is now widespead across the news media. Huff Post, Daily Mirror, Metro, Daily Star, OK Magazine, Ladbible...

So they acknowledge there were problems? But what problems were they referring to?

For me it was the cringe-inducing informal, silly editing style. The flashy cuts, music montages etc... if ITV are going to take it on then they'll probably make it even more Tik Tok-infused. =/

This is rather exciting news
