Entertainment Weekly (EW) recently asked the show’s host, Julie Chen Moonves, if another celebrity season is on the horizon, especially in light of the SAG strike.
Julie Chen tells EW that she has been “poking around” to Big Brothers producers asking about a potential celebrity season in early 2024.
As there is so much uncertainty due to the walkout, anything is possible. She notes that the SAG strike may position the reality show to be in demand; however, she also states that they have not made that call as of yet.
Chen believes that a “legends” Big Brother show could garner famous faces, regardless of whether or not a strike is still in effect. She notes that they can book celebrities as this is something they can participate in, much like Dancing With the Stars (DWTS) is doing.
As there is a strike right now, actors are available, and people want to work. It’s important to note that actors are permitted to appear on DWTS, as they work under a “Network Code” deal that is a “non-struck” agreement. As such, they are not in violation of the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Still, it was revealed in the EW report that even if the union changes its rules and actors couldn’t participate in a Big Brother Legends show, the reality series could solicit comedians, athletes, musicians, and other major reality show stars. These participants tend to be the “bulk” of these “legends” shows as it is.
