Show History
Big Brother Australia originally premiered in 2001 and aired for eight seasons until 2008. It was revived by Channel Nine in 2012 for three seasons, then moved to Channel Seven for five seasons before being canceled in 2024 due to declining ratings.

“You don’t need to fit certain criteria to be in the house. You don’t need to be physically or mentally strong, like you would [on] Survivor. You don’t need to be single, like you would on MAFS.”
What to Expect
The revival promises an inclusive environment where various types of people can take part, distinguishing it from other reality competitions that require specific qualities or statuses.
