'Big Brother' 27 Promises a Season of Secrets With Mystery Houseguest

Big Brother is back — and this summer, season 27 dives into “A Summer of Mystery,” transforming the long-running CBS reality series into a high-stakes whodunit set inside the eerie Hotel Mystère.

Hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, the new summer season promises mind games and misdirection, complete with a masked visitor, a secret accomplice and perhaps most notable of all: a Mystery Houseguest whose identity will remain a secret… at least for now.

The BB27 house has undergone a major transformation, channeling the energy of a haunted hotel with every room telling its own story. The network describes it as "a suspense-filled hotel, complete with secrets, hidden passageways and a mysterious vibe that sets the stage for a summer of intrigue." 

Check out a tour of the house with photos below:
