Julie Chen Moonves has been teasing a “Legends” season for months.

In November 2023, Julie spoke with Entertainment Weekly and teased an upcoming winter season. She was adamant that it wouldn’t consist of celebrities and hinted that it would instead be full of Big Brother legends.

“I don’t think a celebrity run will happen,” she told the outlet. “But maybe we will have a month’s worth that is special in its own way. Maybe you bring back Legends, for those are the real Big Brother celebrities.”

The host added, “They could play a fast, one-month version. Or maybe we get three months’ worth starting in January or February. Even if the strike ended right now, nothing’s going to go into production until January, so maybe you do need a month’s worth of Big Brother just to fill.”
