Big Brother Canada returns for its 12th season, with host Arisa Cox introducing 12 fresh houseguests and teasing the addition of two mystery all-stars, all set in a Hollywood North-themed season.
“I truly believe this season will be unforgettable,” Cox shared with Yahoo Canada. “I have a strong sense of excitement about what’s to come.”
Big Brother Canada Season 12 premieres on March 5 at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT on Global TV. Subsequent episodes will air weekly on Sundays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. ET/PT, and Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT.

Offering a glimpse into what viewers can anticipate from the Season 12 Canadian houseguests, Cox disclosed that the cast comprises individuals with an in-depth understanding of the show.
“I’m truly excited about what I’ve heard so far regarding people’s strategies or their expectations entering the house,” Cox expressed. “I’m particularly intrigued by the innovative approaches some of them bring.”
Embracing the Hollywood North theme, Cox hinted at an abundance of opulence within the house, featuring more rooms than in previous seasons, fostering an environment ripe for gossip and clandestine conversations.
“We’re quite literally mirroring the aspiration for fame that many houseguests harbor,” Cox elaborated. “While openly desiring fame may sometimes be seen as taboo, these contestants are unabashed about their aspirations.”
As Big Brother Canada gears up for its twelfth season, the series continues to evolve while remaining reliant on the diverse pool of Canadian applicants. However, this year’s cast announcement stirred some controversy as viewers noticed the absence of houseguests from Quebec.
Addressing the concern, executive producer Cox acknowledged the desire for representation from all regions but emphasized the challenge of casting the best individuals from the available pool. Cox highlighted the unpredictable nature of casting, where factors like timing and circumstances play a significant role in shaping the final lineup.
Despite past critiques, one notable change—replacing live feeds with Digital Dailies—remains intact for Season 12. Cox reassured fans that this decision is aimed at delivering even more comprehensive content, ensuring that viewers don’t miss out on any significant moments within the house.
Expressing excitement for the upcoming season, Cox emphasized the commitment to providing viewers with a deeper and more immersive experience. With a focus on transparency and entertainment value, the production team aims to elevate the show from mere entertainment to a captivating lifestyle experience.
