Production

Development

In May 2023 Deadline Hollywood reported that CBS was considering an additional season of Big Brother in the 2023-24 television schedule, with "all-star contestants", to fill in gaps left by the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike and the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.[5] CBS had previously done the same with Big Brother 9 which aired in 2008 to combat the 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike.[6]

Ahead of the Big Brother 25 finale in November 2023, host Julie Chen Moonves teased a "holiday surprise" from the "Big Brother universe". In an interview following the episode, Chen Moonves stated that a fourth season of Celebrity Big Brother was unlikely to happen, but noted the possibility of a shortened season with returning players.[7] The Writers Guild of America strike ultimately ended in October,[8] followed by the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike in November 2023.[9] With most scripted series set to begin filming shortened seasons in late-November and early-December,[10][11] and most premiere dates not expected until 2024[12] there were still empty slots in the schedule.[13]

During the Big Brother 25 finale it was announced that a new spin-off of Big Brother would air in December titled Big Brother Reindeer Games.[14] The series will be produced by Fly on the Wall Entertainment and Endemol Shine North America with Allison Grodner, Rich Meehan, and Chris Roach serving as executive producers, all returning from Big Brother.[15]

Casting

The series will not feature Chen Moonves and will instead be hosted by former Big Brother HouseGuests Derek Xiao, Tiffany Mitchell, and Jordan Lloyd who will be known as "Santa's Elves"; Xiao and Mitchell competed on Big Brother 23, while Lloyd was on both Big Brother 11 and Big Brother 13[16] Additionally, nine other former contestants, including one from Big Brother 25, will return to compete.[17]

Marketing and release

The series premiered on December 11, 2023, and was filmed in its entirety prior to its release.[18] It will feature no live feeds and will not be filmed in the Big Brother house.[19] Big Brother Reindeer Games will air three episodes a week on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday, over two weeks, totaling six episodes before its finale on December 21.[20] A teaser trailer was aired during the Big Brother 25 finale featuring former competitors Frankie Grande, Britney Haynes, and Danielle Reyes, and was styled off a similar teaser that opened the twenty-fifth season.[21] Episodes from the series will also stream on Paramount+.[22]
