Julie Chen Moonves for 'Big Brother 27'The theme of Big Brother 27 is "A Summer of Mystery," and the contestants will find themselves living in "Hotel Mystère" for the summer.
According to a press release from earlier this month, "Hotel Mystère" is "a place where secrets lurk behind every door and nothing is as it seems."
The premiere was teased to be "filled with unexpected twists and turns including a masked visitor, a secret accomplice and the shocking arrival of a 'Mystery Houseguest' whose identity will remain under wraps … at least for now."
This season's house gives off Clue vibes and is decorated as "a suspense-filled hotel, complete with secrets, hidden passageways and a mysterious vibe that sets the stage for a summer of intrigue."
CBS announced in May that Big Brother 27 will be a super-sized season.
This summer, Wednesday episodes will now be 90 minutes long, while Thursday and Sunday episodes will keep their original one-hour runtime.
While that alone is just 30 minutes of extra show each week, fans are also getting an all-new one-hour episode every other Friday.
This will be known as Big Brother: Unlocked, which will see three all-star players offer "never-before-seen broadcast footage from the house, exclusive interviews, surprise guest appearances and unprecedented behind-the-scenes access," according to a press release. "Former Houseguests share firsthand insight and expertise as they analyze gameplay, assess the competition and give their insider’s perspective."
The all-star players set to be featured on Big Brother: Unlocked, which premieres Friday, July 25, have yet to be revealed.
