The revival of “Big Brother” is set against a vastly changed landscape in the realm of reality television. Criticized for filling their casts with influencers and celebrities, many reality shows have faced scrutiny for their authenticity. In an exclusive interview with Deadline, ITV commissioning editor Peter Tierney shared his perspective on how “Big Brother” plans to tackle this issue head-on.

Tierney emphasized that the production team behind the show is keenly aware of the criticisms surrounding the creation of reality TV, where producers often manipulate contestants and storylines. “Big Brother,” he suggests, presents a unique opportunity to bring back a sense of genuine reality to the genre. They aim to foster an environment more conducive to real-life interactions, setting it apart from other reality shows.
Executive producer Katy Manley echoed these sentiments, expressing her desire to depart from the polished and glossy style that has come to dominate the reality genre. Instead, she envisions a “hands-off” approach to producing, coupled with a rapid editing turnaround that will capture the raw essence of the housemates’ experiences.

While they aim to avoid drastic changes, they intend to make subtle adjustments that will give it a distinct “ITV 2” vibe.
Mark your calendars for the highly-anticipated premiere of “Big Brother: The Launch” on Sunday, October 8, at 9 pm. The excitement doesn’t end there, as the show will continue to air on Sundays through Fridays at 9 pm on both ITV2 and ITVX.
In conclusion, the return of “Big Brother” signifies a potential turning point in the world of reality television. With a renewed focus on authenticity, a hands-off approach to production, and a commitment to preserving the show’s essence, fans can expect a fresh and exciting take on the beloved classic. The countdown to the weekend premiere is on!
