TORONTO – Corus will reprise the Big Brother Canada reality franchise in 2018, cutting short the show’s previously announced hiatus.
Bowing to “the overwhelmingly powerful fan response”, the broadcaster said that the Canadian version of the popular reality format will return for a sixth season during the 2018 broadcast season on Global. Additional details about the sixth season, including casting news, will be announced at a later date.
"In a game-changing twist, beloved series Big Brother Canada will return to Global in 2018, earlier than previously anticipated," said Corus EVP and COO Barbara Williams, in the news release. "With the utmost respect for the loyal following this series has engendered over five terrific seasons, we heard the fans loud and clear. We recognized their passion for this high quality, dynamic, and engaging series, and are thrilled to have Big Brother Canada on the Global schedule next year."
