Big Brother 24: How many days can we expect this season?
So just how many days should we expect here, at least based on the July 6 premiere date and our assumptions from last year? We think we’ve got a reasonably good sense of it already.
Last summer, we think the CBS show hit on something that we think they’ll want to maintain for some time in an 85-day season. We don’t think they’re going to go back to a 100-day format anytime soon, largely because they don’t need to. In doing a live move-in on premiere date (which we’re hoping to have again), it allows the producers to put together as many episodes as they would previously in a 92 or 93-day season back before they handled the move-in this way. This means that really, they’re only down a few episodes from when they did the 100-day season. Also, producers save money not having to keep people in the house for longer than that 85-day period, and they get almost three months of revenue from Paramount+ subscriptions.
Doing a season of this length allows Big Brother 24 to wrap up at the end of September, right as the network is kicking off their fall season and putting on a new season of Survivor. We love Big Brother as much as anyone, but there can at times be too much of a good thing. That’s probably one of the reasons why we don’t anticipate the celebrity version becoming an annual thing; it was done earlier this year, but that’s probably tied mostly to there being competition that came out in the form of the Winter Olympics.
