TORONTO, June 7, 2023
/CNW/ - Get ready BBCAN fam for another season of the reality
phenomenon Big Brother Canada! Today, Global
dropped some big news at the #CorusUpfront announcing the
network's powerhouse reality series will return for a landmark
12th Season. Produced by Insight Productions (a Boat
Rocker company) in association with Corus Entertainment and
Banijay, the greenlight follows an epic 11th Season
where Terrell "Ty" McDonald
triumphed, becoming the Season 11 champion.
"We are thrilled to renew Global's highly popular original
reality series Big Brother Canada for an unprecedented
12th Season," said Lisa
Godfrey, Senior Vice President of Original Content and Corus
Studios. "For the past 11 years, Big Brother Canada has
become a lifestyle for our die-hard fans with each season telling
its own story and offering something special to viewers, and we
cannot wait to deliver another season of drama, larger than life
challenges and can't-miss moments."
Hosted by Canadian Screen Award-winner Arisa Cox, who also serves as one of the show's
executive producers, Big Brother Canada hand-picks
a group of strangers from all walks of life, sequesters them from
the outside world, and places them inside a house outfitted
wall-to-wall with cameras and microphones that capture their every
move. Competing for a grand cash prize, each week the houseguests
battle in a series of challenges that gives them power or
punishment, voting each other out until the fate of the final two
is decided by a jury of fellow houseguests.
Additional details about Big Brother Canada Season 12,
including casting news, will be announced at a later date. In the
meantime, fans can catch up on all the best moments from Season 11
on BigBrotherCanada.ca and can stream the full season for free
on the Global TV App, also available on STACKTV.
Commissioned by Corus Entertainment, Season 12 of Big
Brother Canada is produced by Insight Productions (a
Boat Rocker company) in association with Corus Entertainment
and content powerhouse Banijay, with the deal struck by
Jane Rimer, SVP Canada, at
distribution arm Banijay Rights. Executive Producers are
John Brunton, Erin Brock, Eric
Abboud, and Arisa Cox.
Corus Entertainment's Original Content team, driving its slate
