[
CBS has unveiled the cast for Big Brother season 28.
On Tuesday, the network announced the houseguests competing in the upcoming season of the long-running reality series. The initial 14-player cast includes everyone from a rocket scientist and an MMA fighter to a pickleball coach and a RuPaul’s Drag Race alum, better known as Salina EsTitties.
The reality competition series follows a group of strangers living together in a house under 24/7 surveillance as they form alliances, compete in challenges and vote one another out until one houseguest remains to claim the $750,000 grand prize. This season’s theme, “Time Trip,” will see the “past, present and future collide,” according to CBS.
Big Brother premiered on Thursday at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The 24/7 live feeds are available the following day on Paramount+, Pluto and YouTube for a limited time. Additional surprise houseguests will also be revealed during the premiere. (This list was originally published on July 7 and has been updated as new characters were revealed.)
