Meet Your New Big Brother Australia Housemates for 2025
Big Brother Australia has returned! After a two-year break, the popular reality TV show is back on Channel 10 with a fresh season described as “unscripted, unfiltered [and] unmissable.” This year, the show will take place at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast, featuring a new house and a diverse group of housemates live-streamed 24/7 to audiences nationwide.
With over 20,000 applications submitted for the rebooted season, producers faced a challenging task selecting the ideal cast. The identities of the 12 everyday Australians entering the house will remain a secret until the premiere on Sunday, November 9.
