In August 2023, prior to the beginning of the twentieth series, which was the first to be commissioned by ITV following the programme's revival on the channel, ITV's commissioning editor Paul Mortimer confirmed at the Edinburgh International Television Festival that the show would return for a twenty-first series in 2024, stating that the show had been confirmed for "two six-week runs" and also hinted at a revival of Celebrity Big Brother, which in turn was also commissioned and aired its first series on ITV, the twenty-third series of Celebrity Big Brother, in March 2024.[4][5][6] Applications for the series opened on 17 November 2023, during the final of the previous series, and closed on 31 July 2024.[7]
The series is set to retain the format from the previous series, running for 36 episodes, airing six nights a week from Sunday to Friday, with a 90-minute launch show and finale episode. ITV announced that the series would again feature a new cast of carefully selected housemates, from all walks of life. The series is set to run for up to six weeks, with "cameras capturing [the housemates'] every move, and the nation following every twist and turn." Shopping tasks, nominations and live evictions will return, with the public once again voting throughout the series and ultimately determining the winner, who will walk away with a cash prize.[8]
In April 2024, it was reported that the Big Brother house was set to be moved from Garden Studios due to it being situated next to a canal, which in turn had resulted in disruption from the public and boat users.[9] However these rumours were later debunked a month later, with planning applications revealing that the house would remain at Garden Studios, with the live set and garden situated in the same place as it was for the previous series.[10]
On 29 July 2024, the official eye logo for the series was revealed in a 20-second teaser trailer, which aired during the ad-break of the final of the eleventh series of Love Island.[11] The eye depicts different coloured paint mixed together which in turn, drips down to the bottom of the screen.[12][13]
