TORONTO — At a time when Canadians are being asked to stay home as much as possible, the reality of the evolving Covid-19 situation is forcing Big Brother Canada to shut down production mid-season.
In a statement issued Tuesday, Corus Entertainment’s Global network and series producer Insight Productions announced season eight of Big Brother Canada has ended production in light of developments in Ontario to fight against the spreading Covid-19 outbreak.
“Big Brother Canada is a labour of love for so many, and even though it hurts to say goodbye to the season, it’s the right thing to do,” said Big Brother Canada host Arisa Cox, in the statement. “On behalf of the incredible people who put this show together, thank you to everyone who started this journey with us. Please take care and be safe!”
The statement says there are no plans to resume production on the season at a later date. Season eight of Big Brother Canada will take its final bow over two episodes Wednesday, March 25 at 7 p.m. and Wednesday, April 1 at 7 p.m.
