Just got this from the press email, it's for immediate release:

Big Brother is back with an unpredictable new series. From Day One the Housemates will be under attack from an unseen ominous dark force that will have a dramatic and divisive effect on the House. Join Emma Willis live on launch night as the Housemates enter the unknown. Whilst things may appear to be straight forward Big Brother will ensure that no-one will have the entire picture. There may even be deeper connections at work? The Housemates are not alone and they should be prepared for paranoia and suspicion.

The Big Brother House has been transformed into a slick, stark monochrome world. Whilst everything may appear to be black and white – that certainly won’t be the case. Viewers should prepare for a ‘yin and yang’ style force to evolve Big Brother for a new generation. This force will affect the Housemates for better or for worse. So who will survive the summer and win £100,000? You decide!

Sounds messy

[Will.]

Sounds like BB14 mixed with BB15.

[Glenn.]

Definitely two houses competing against each other then

[Denver]

Have they decreased the prize fund?

[TomC]

Hmmm. Interesting. This will be either be amazing or tragic. Depends how they pull it off!

[Denver]

This does now put to bed the BBUS format obsession?

[Guuki]

I wonder what about the housemates for this series? Are they in some kind of sequester already? If not, they can read all the news and notes like that one above as well as everyone. And that'd ruin it all. And if they are in sequester already, isn't it insane to be cut from outside world for that long? I'm curious.

[TomC]

@ Adam. Idk. It certainly sounds like more of a gameshow now though.

Praying that Rylan gives us a date

[Will.]

I wonder if we're getting the full promo today.

If they were already locked away, surely that would mean launch within two weeks? Do the HMs even go into "hiding" these days?

Nothing in that info couldn't be gleaned from what we know already tbh.

Here for the Death Eaters

[TomC]

I think it'll deffo launch around Fri 10th June. Was hoping for Fri 3rd but I've realised Up Late With Rylan is still on then.

I think it's a total brand new format never seen before by the sounds of it.

Maybe good vs bad?

Good being unknown housemates and bad being people in the paper everyone likes such as Most Cunningham and Barbie Boy?

[Glenn.]

Maybe a 2 part launch again this year?

BB15's theme was revealed on the 16th May and it launched 5th June, so perhaps A Fri 10th could be possible.

Unless there is 2 staircase's and they have to chose one to walkup

[Glenn.]

They'd know about each other then and the whole thing is pointless

[Denver]

They are going to know anyway? With them being in a different house and all that crap

[TomC]

I thought the extension was gonna be a task arena, which sounds more feasible with this news.

[VanessaFeltz.]

it ia gonna be a mess

[elliebrew]

Yin and Yang! I always wanted this theme

[Moosething]

So no celeb vs civilian?

[Daniel.]
