3 months until the season 10 premiere of the original Dutch reality show 'Big Brother' in 2024.

@sarahlancashire2 💙

After 23 years off the air, when Banijay Entertainment will confirm the official press release news for the full revival of Big Brother Hungary to its original broadcaster TV2 Group this year, with the real original format, real original name, and a complete new eye logo (introduced this opening title in the Netherlands & Belgium since the show's return in 2021) — using the longest Big Brother Netherlands & Belgium format model, please?

Write to Lucas Green's email address at [email protected], if TV2 Group director of programming strategy & content production Gábor Fischer announces the official premiere date for the full revival of Big Brother Hungary this year!

10 days after the cancellation of the Dutch-Belgian co-operation version of the original Big Brother, TV2 Group will officially confirm the revival of Big Brother Hungary soon, with a complete new eye logo ahead of a third regular (civilian) season (introduced this opening title in the Netherlands & Belgium since the show's return in 2021) — to mirror the longest Dutch-Belgian model (including the 2021 iconic house setup at EndemolShine Nederland's parking lot near Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, Netherlands)!

What we need to know?

• All new Hungarian civilian houseguests

• 100 days

• 3 months

• New BB house in a new location (including the 2021 iconic house in Amsterdam, Netherlands)

• Daily highlight episodes with a narrator (in soap-opera style) — right after Tények Plusz on TV2 in primetime

• Key elements (Head of Household, Power of Immunity, Influence of the Audience, and Power of Veto)

• Power of Nomination

• Big Brother coins of the 2021 Dutch-Belgian version

• Weekly live evictions

• 24/7 online live feeds on TV2 Play

• Online companion show on TV2 Play website

• Family-friendly focused audience

• A new solo host (replacing the dual hosting)

• A new narrator (one of the famous Hungarian voice actors (replacing Armand Kautzky)

Here's the Key Takeaway on the Big Brother Hungary Revival (2025):

Netherlands & Belgium: Confirmed & Documented — revival launched on January 4, 2021 with the metallic minimalist eye logo, strong hosts, and consistent premieres. Audience impact and longevity through Season 5 this year show that the reboot model works.

Hungary: There will be confirmed casting call, official logo reveal (introduced this opening title in the Netherlands & Belgium since the show's revival in 2021), host confirmation (such as Zsófi Szabó will be the new solo host (replacing Liptai and Till)), and press release from TV2 Group or Banijay Entertainment. Fan chatter and speculation persist, but nothing official has been published. As TV2 Group will make an official announcement, everything about Hungary’s revival stays in the speculation column, even if it mirrors the NL/BE format in concept.

Here's the key facts:

• A new Big Brother house in a new location (mirroring the Big Brother Netherlands & Belgium 2021 house setup)

• Houseguests: 12 or 14 all new Hungarian civilian houseguest will enter the new Big Brother house (everyday people)

• 100 days (mirroring the longest Dutch-Belgian format setup)

• Daily highlight episodes with a narrator (in daily soap-opera style (right after Tények Plusz only on TV2)

• New key elements (Head of Household, Power of Immunity, Influence of the Audience, and Power of Veto)

• Power of Nomination (since 2023 in the Netherlands & Belgium)

• Big Brother coins (from the Dutch-Belgian version)

• Public vote

• Weekly live evictions (right after Tények Plusz only on TV2)

• 24/7 online live feeds on TV2 Play

• Online companion show on TV2 Play

• Family-friendly focused audience

• New host (replacing Claudia Liptai and Attila Till)

• New narrator (replacing Armand Kautzky)

• New voice of Big Brother (replacing Péter Román)

• Mirroring the longest Dutch-Belgian model (including the Amsterdam setup)

Warner Bros. Discovery potentially acquiring the full rights to Dutch reality format 'Big Brother', one of the most iconic and influential reality television franchises, would be a major move in reshaping the landscape of global entertainment. Here’s an exploration of this scenario:

The Complete Acquisition of the Dutch reality format, Big Brother by Warner Bros. Discovery in 2025

- 1. Transition from Banijay:

• Banijay, which has overseen the Big Brother format since acquiring Endemol in 2019, would end its involvement with the franchise after six years. This opens the door for WBD to re-establish the brand with its global expertise in media distribution, streaming platforms, and innovative content.

- 2. Reviving and Expanding the Brand:

WBD’s acquisition would likely include reimagining Big Brother for contemporary audiences:

• Leveraging Max as the central streaming platform for 24/7 live feeds and exclusive content.

• Introducing cutting-edge production techniques and engaging storytelling across different territories.

• Establishing consistent branding with the new eye logo introduced in 2021 in the Netherlands and Belgium.

- 3. A Global Strategy:

• WBD’s reach in markets like the U.S., Europe, Latin America, and Asia provides a robust framework for simultaneous launches and interconnected seasons.

• Re-launching dormant versions like Big Brother Hungary (TV2) could further solidify the franchise's global appeal.

Big Brother Hungary's Return to TV2 in 2025

After 22 years off the air, Big Brother Hungary’s return to its original home (TV2 Group's flagship network) TV2 would mark a significant revival of a beloved cultural phenomenon.

2. New Eye Logo:

Reintroducing the series with the sleek, global identity first seen in Big Brother Netherlands and Belgium since 2021.

3. TV2 Group’s Commitment:

With its strong history in Hungarian television, TV2 is the ideal partner to reintroduce the format to audiences.

2. Combining humor, drama, and strategic gameplay for broader audience engagement.
