Meet Your New Big Brother Australia Housemates for 2025
Big Brother Australia has officially returned after a two-year break. The beloved reality show is back on Channel 10 with a fresh season that promises to be “unscripted, unfiltered and unmissable.”
Return to Dreamworld
This year marks the show's return to its original location at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast. A new house has been built where a diverse group of contestants will be live-streamed 24/7 to audiences across the country.
Selection and Casting
Producers received more than 20,000 applications from hopeful participants, making the selection of housemates a major challenge. The upcoming season, the 17th in the series, will showcase a mix of personalities and lifestyles.
What to Expect
While fans must wait until Sunday, November 9, to meet the 12 new contestants, host Mel Tracina offered a glimpse of what’s to come in an interview with TV Tonight.
“12 housemates enter the house at launch… I think it’s a great cross range of Australians that will be heading into the house from all different walks of life, different ages.”
“We’ve got some that have admitted to being clean freaks, which I think will be very exciting to see unfold in the house.”
The new season aims to capture authentic interactions and unexpected dynamics among its diverse cast, true to the original spirit of Big Brother.
