Celebrity Big Brother 3 is the upcoming third season of the American reality television series Celebrity Big Brother. The series is a spin-off of the American version of Big Brother and is also the American version of Celebrity Big Brother. It features a group of celebrities, known as "HouseGuests," who will move into a house together; with no contact from outside the game, the contestants must compete against each other for power and safety and then vote to eliminate, or "evict," one of their fellow contestants. At the end of the season, previous contestants vote on who they think they should win. The season was announced in September 2021 and is set to premiere on CBS in February 2022 as counterprogramming to the 2022 Winter Olympics. Julie Chen Moonves is set to return as host while Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan are expected to return as executive producers.

Development[edit]
The first season of the American version of Celebrity Big Brother aired on CBS in February of the 2017-18 television season as counterprogramming to NBC's coverage of the 2018 Winter Olympics.[2] Due to the success of the series a second season was later ordered that aired in the second half of the 2018-19 television season.[3] Ahead of the twenty-first season of the civilian version in 2019 CBS Entertainment President Kelly Kahl stated that future editions of Celebrity Big Brother were uncertain.[4] In addition, future contracts of host Julie Chen Moonves did not include any mention of Celebrity Big Brother.[5] In December 2020, following the conclusion of the parent series twenty-second season Chen Moonves mentioned in an interview that she and numerous producers encouraged the network to order a third season, believing that then was the time to do it due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.[6] Chen Moonves stated that they declined to order a third season at the time but continued to leave the possibility open for a later time.[6] On September 9, 2021, during the Television Critics Association summer press tour, Thom Sherman, Senior Executive Vice President of CBS programming, announced that Celebrity Big Brother would return for a third season.[7][8] Chen Moonves is confirmed to be returning as host.[9] Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan will return as executive producers while Fly On The Wall Entertainment and Endemol Shine North America will continue to serve as production companies.[10]
Casting[edit]
Compared to previous seasons at least half of the contracted celebrities must be black, indigenous, (and) people of color.[11] The requirement comes from a CBS effort that began in 2020 to bring diversity to reality television series.[12]
Filming[edit]
In August 2021 it was reported that ViacomCBS was looking to sell CBS Studio Center in Studio City, California where the Big Brother house is located.[13][14] When the season was announced it was confirmed that the Big Brother house will feature 94 high definition cameras and 113 microphones although the official location of the studio was not mentioned.[15]
Broadcast[edit]
The season is set to air in February 2022, during the 2021-22 television season, this time as counterprogramming to the 2022 Winter Olympics.[16] 24/7 Live feeds and additional exclusive content will stream on Paramount+, previously CBS All Access, throughout the season.[17]
