CBS All Access will soon follow through with their promise to provide viewers with exclusive original series, starting with Season 19 of the network’s popular reality show, Big Brother. The shorter 10-week installment will stream exclusively via the SVOD platform.
According to Deadline, the new season is to be produced by the same team that works on the broadcast version. It will feature a brand new set of house guests, applications for which are still being accepted, and will stream shortly after Season 18 concludes on broadcast. Season 18’s 90-minute finale is scheduled for September 21, so you can expect to have access to the following season sometime this fall. CBS has yet to comment.
