The announcement was made today during a Clubhouse conversation between Big Brother host Julie Chen Moonves and Love Island host Arielle Vandenberg, as moderated by Love Island narrator Matthew Hoffman. The talk was the first of many events in a partnership between CBS and Clubhouse. Throughout the summer, fans will have the opportunity to join conversations with various alumni, behind-the-scenes talent, and others to talk about the drama and excitement unfolding on their screens. Big Brother will start off the three-hour block at 8 p.m. ET/PT on July 7 with a special 90-minute live premiere. In the moment, a brand-new group of houseguests will move into a newly redesigned house in the pursuit of the $500,000 prize. Season 23 will air three times a week, playing Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT. Love Island’s third season premiere will follow, with a 90-minute episode at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT. Taking place in the Hawaiian islands, a brand-new group of Islanders will arrive looking for love. Along the way, they’ll experience various temptations, including the return of the Casa Amor twist from last season. The season will continue the next night. It will air Tuesdays through Fridays with a one-hour episode at 9 p.m. ET/PT, and on Sunday with a two-hour episode at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The doubleheader marks the first time CBS has regularly aired a three-hour block of reality TV on a Sunday night. The return of both Big Brother and Love Island to the CBS lineup comes as no surprise, considering how the two reality series were able to film and air amidst the pandemic in 2020. Big Brother 22 held its much-anticipated second All-Stars season, quarantining the returning players inside the house. Love Island 2 had to abandon its original filming location of Fiji, instead living in a hotel on the Las Vegas Strip.
