CBS’s Big Brother is stepping back in time to the ’80s and Y2K with a “Time Trip”-themed season 28. The new season, which includes its 1,000th original episode, premieres on Thursday, July 9, 2026 at 8pm ET/PT. No other original primetime series has hit that milestone.
Julie Chen returns to host the reality competition series, which premiered way back in July 2020.
“Houseguests will enter a world where rooms, relics, and competitions transport them across moments in time, while early twists shake up the game from the start. Inspired by decades like the ’80s and Y2K, new powers and challenges can disrupt strategy and alliances,” reads CBS’s synopsis.
And CBS offered these details on the Big Brother: Time Trip House:
• Time-Bending Entryway: Houseguests are greeted by a striking faux neon sign and a dizzying array of clocks, immediately setting the tone: time is fractured, unpredictable, and constantly in motion.
• Living Room of Eras: 17-foot gothic windows glow against oxblood stone walls, blending classic and industrial design alongside relics from across history, from a triceratops skull to royal crown jewels—a reminder that anything from any era could shape the game.
• Nostalgic Trophies: A 1940s jukebox and an ’80s transparent phone highlight a surreal mix of decades, celebrating nostalgia as past, present, and future collide inside the BB house.
• Relic Lab Hallway: The iconic time laser returns alongside quirky failed inventions including a pogo stick, keytar, and more, all displayed as relics of past experiments.
• Clockwork Bathroom: Gears and intricate mechanical details surround Houseguests, while subatomic-inspired lighting fixtures create a visually stunning otherworldly atmosphere.
• The Artifact Bedroom: Housing five Houseguests, this artifact-filled room features two mysterious doorways—one to the past, one to the future.
• Futuristic Sleep Pods Room: A sleek retreat with pod beds, organic ladders, and nebula visuals offers a calm, futuristic escape from the chaos of the game.
• Upstairs Lounge: Vintage tech lines the shelves. Massive arched windows overlooking the living room make it a prime vantage point for eavesdropping, while the custom-built sofa is perfectly suited for both strategizing and showmancing.
• Time-Lapse Gym: Walls wrapped in time-lapse photography create the illusion of motion and progression, energizing Houseguests as they work out and reset.
• Clock Tower Feature: Tying the entire house together, a dramatic clock tower crowns the space, a symbolic reminder that in this game, time is always ticking … but never predictable.
