CBS has revealed the 16 players who will move in imminently, and the roster features quite a few firsts for the American iteration of Big Brother. To start, real estate agent Felicia Cannon — at 63 years old — will be the show’s first female houseguest over the age of 60. Meanwhile, Bowie Jane — a DJ originally from Melbourne — is the first Australian contestant to appear on the Stateside edition.
Season 25 will also feature more notable diversity, by way of truck company owner Jag Bains (Big Brother‘s first Sikh houseguest) and Deaflympics gold medalist Matt Klotz (Big Brother‘s first hard-of-hearing houseguest).
Many Big Brother fans had suspected that former houseguests would make an appearance in this milestone season’s cast, but no alumni appear to be moving in… for now, at least. That said, series veterans Danielle Reyes, Britney Haynes and Frankie Grande did recently break into the Big Brother house to set one of this season’s first twists in motion; watch the full video here.
Big Brother returns with a 90-minute season premiere on Wednesday, Aug. 2, at 8/7c. Episodes will then air on Sundays at 8 pm (beginning Aug. 6), Wednesdays at 8 pm and Thursdays at 9 pm (beginning Aug. 10).
