Big Brother Canada is officially coming back in 2027. Bell Media announced on June 4, 2026 that it has ordered a new season for CTV and Crave, with Andrea Bain confirmed as host and production set to begin in spring 2027 in Montreal.
This is the strongest same-day Big Brother update on the board because it is a real franchise revival, not a recycled cast or schedule explainer.
What Bell Media confirmed today
Bell Media said it has ordered a new season of Big Brother Canada following a deal with Banijay Rights. The company also said the revived season will be produced by Entourage, the team behind Big Brother Celebrites in Quebec.
Bell also confirmed that the existing 12-season Big Brother Canada back catalogue will stream on Crave.
Who is hosting Big Brother Canada in 2027?
Andrea Bain is the confirmed host. Bell named the The Social co-host in the press release, which gives fans one clear on-air anchor for the revival already.
When does Big Brother Canada start in 2027?
There is no exact premiere date yet. What Bell has confirmed is that production begins in spring 2027 in Montreal. As of Thursday, June 4, 2026, any exact launch date or cast reveal timeline beyond that remains unconfirmed.
Where will Big Brother Canada air and stream?
Bell says the new season is for CTV and Crave, giving the show both a broadcast home and a streaming home from day one.
What this means for Big Brother USA in Canada
Bell also announced that future seasons of Big Brother USA will move to CTV and Crave beginning in summer 2027. That does not change this summer’s U.S. rollout, with Big Brother 28 still set to premiere on July 9, 2026 on CBS.
If you want the current U.S. schedule, Bizbod already has that here: when Big Brother 2026 starts. We also have a separate explainer on when CBS is likely to reveal the Big Brother 28 cast.
Has the cast been announced?
No. Bell said casting details will be announced later. There is no official contestant list yet.
Why this matters now
Big Brother Canada was off the active schedule, and Bell has now put it back in play with a named host, a production city, a production window, and a streaming plan. That is why this story matters more today than a late-turn Love Island explainer with no fresh hook.
