The Big Brother schedule for season 18 is out and we couldn’t be more excited! According to CBS, this will be the longest season of the show ever. How long? Well, it looks like the Big Brother 18 cast will be in the house for 99 total days! That is a record length of time playing the game for any group of U.S. houseguests.

The Big Brother 18 premiere kicks off on Wednesday, June 22nd with a special two-hour episode, followed by a one hour episode on Thursday night. We already know who the 12 newbies of the BB18 cast are, but we’re expecting to see four more additional houseguests — most likely returning veterans — announced at some point during the premiere episodes.

After the Thursday night premiere episode is over on June 23rd, Big Brother Live Feeds will be turned on for CBS All Access subscribers at 10PM PT/1AM ET. Big Brother After Dark will also launch on POP TV the same night. We are bound to get spoilers on competitions and other game info when the Live Feeds come on, as the cast will have been in the house for a week already by then.

Following the Big Brother 18 premiere, the show will settle into it’s traditional schedule of Wednesday and Thursday nights at 9PM ET/PT and Sunday nights at 8PM ET/PT. There are likely to be a few bumps in the schedule along the way, there usually are. We’ll be sure to let you know as soon as any Big Brother schedule interruption changes pop up!

We don’t have a firm Big Brother 18 finale date yet, but we’re guessing it will probably end around the third week of September, based on the 99 days the players will be in the house.
