Celebrity Big Brother 3 Reportedly In The Works For Early 2021

Celebrity Big Brother 3 is reportedly in the works at CBS for an early 2021 premiere date, and the cast speculation for CBB3 has already begun. The American edition of Celebrity Big Brother - a spin-off that has been very successful in the UK for many years - premiered on CBS in 2018. Because celebrities are not usually available to film something for three whole months, the seasons for this series only last about a month. CBS reportedly lures in these stars with high upfront stipends for being on the show. And in the end, the winner takes home a grand prize of $250,000, which isn't bad for just a month of work.

When Celebrity Big Brother 1 premiered in 2018, it featured stars such as Ross Mathews, Omarosa Manigault, Brandi Glanville, Shannon Elizabeth, and James Maslow. In the end, Broadway actress and Tony Award winner Marissa Jaret Winokur took home the grand prize. The cast for Celebrity Big Brother 2, which aired in 2019, featured Tamar Braxton, Kandi Burruss, Jonathan Bennett, Natalie Eva Marie, and Dina Lohan. This time, it was Tamar that managed to win the $250,000 grand prize. Overall, Tamar became the first African-American houseguest in history to win an American season of Big Brother.

The fans were expecting to get Celebrity Big Brother 3 in 2020, considering that season 2 was in 2019. But the show would've premiered between January and February of this year, which was right when the COVID-19 pandemic became more serious. Thankfully, it seems like CBS is confident in how they ran Big Brother 22: All-Stars, and are now reportedly working on CBB3. According to a Soap Dirt insider, the network is very motivated to make Celebrity Big Brother work given the fact that Survivor can't film a new season anytime soon. Per the report, this third season would premiere in early 2021. This insider is also claiming that possible houseguests include Carole Baskin (Tiger King and Dancing With The Stars), one of the leading women in the Real Housewives franchise, and even a celebrity chef. Other individuals who became famous for appearing on Netflix's Tiger King docu-series are allegedly also being considered. Needless to say, the fans are very excited about the possibility of CBB3 for 2021.

For now, all the news about Celebrity Big Brother 2021 are just speculation from insiders and the fans. However, it should be noted that many scripted shows had to completely halt production - or significantly limit filming - during this ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Thus, it has been rumored for some time that CBS could indeed produce a new season or spin-off of Big Brother to fill out its winter/spring 2021 schedule. Besides Survivor, it's also likely that The Amazing Race won't be able to film a new season for the foreseeable future.

The fans should stay tuned for more news regarding Celebrity Big Brother 3. There is no official word on whether or not this is happening, but it should be noted that this spin-off doesn't open auditions for the general public. Therefore, this means that casting calls could be made behind the scenes without the public's acknowledgment.
