BigBrother season 22 will be one of the first reality shows to return to production with a big premiere!
, and producers are taking safety protocols very seriously.
According to a press release announcing the new season, the production"will follow specific health and safety protocols for COVID-19 with the welfare of everyone involved as the highest priority." This includes a quarantine period before filming begins, during which time every castmember will be tested for COVID-19 several times. When they enter the house, they will be tested weekly, and will have no contact with crew members or anyone other than fellow houseguests who have also been tested and quarantined.
Additionally, all food and supplied will be disinfected and there will be no live audience in the studio for live episodes. Meanwhile, the crew will be tested periodically, screened on a daily basis for COVID-19 symptoms, and will wear PPE on set while also maintaining distance from other crew members.
The big two-hour move-in special kicks off Wednesday, Aug 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, and new episodes will air three times per week -- on Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
