Big Brother 20 premiere date revealed plus Salvation season 2, more
Want to know the Big Brother 20 premiere date? The look no further, as CBS has finally confirmed that news for you today!
The new season is going to premiere on CBS Wednesday, June 27 at 8:00 p.m. with a two-hour episode. Beginning on Wednesday, July 4, though, it will shift to a new timeslot at 9:00 p.m. for the rest of the season. Its two other weekly airings will be the same as they have been in the past, with episodes coming up on Thursdays at 9:00 and also Sundays at 8:00. There is no official word as to the cast or the twist just yet, but we should make it clear that 95% of all preseason rumors are complete garbage and not meant to be taken seriously. Remember that the former houseguests have no reason to actually tease their appearance in advance, since that could screw them over in the casting process if there are returning players coming back. Personally, we’re hoping for all newbies because the last thing we want to see is someone showing everyone the ropes in the house or bragging about however many Instagram followers they have.
As for some other important premiere dates, Salvation season 2 will be starting on Monday, June 25 at 9:00 p.m. Eastern. Here’s what CBS had to say about it via an official logline:
“In season two, the secret is out – the world learns the truth about the impending threat of an asteroid on a collision course with earth. The question is: will the truth bring out the best…or the worst in us? The answer, of course, is both.”
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, July 11 at 8:00 p.m. CBS is launching a new series hosted by Kevin Hart entitled TKO: Total Knock Out. Here’s what to expect from it:
TKO: TOTAL KNOCK OUT is an obstacle course series with a twist. The game features one player racing through daunting obstacles while the other contestants are manning battle stations along the course, firing over-the-top projectiles in an attempt to knock them off and slow them down. Actor/comedian and global superstar Kevin Hart will take on the role of host for the first time in his career. TKO: TOTAL KNOCK OUT is produced by MGM Television and distributed internationally by MGM. Mark Burnett, President, MGM Television Group and Digital, and Barry Poznick, President, Unscripted Television, MGM, are executive producers along with Kevin Hart, Holly Wofford and Jane Y. Mun. TKO is an original format created by Steve Hughes and Sean Kelly of Shaggy Entertainment, Inc.
Basically, this sounds like Wipeout meets American Gladiators plus Kevin Hart. Should be interesting insofar as summer entertainment goes.
