The latest series of Big Brother concludes tonight (November 5) after an intense eight weeks, with ITV confirming the reality show's replacement slate. Two new reality spin-offs and a major blockbuster will fill the schedule from this weekend.
Finale and Reunion Plans
More than a dozen strangers entered the famous house at the start of the series to take part in the social experiment, with two newcomers arriving part way through. Drama and chaos have been constant as personalities clashed and housemates endured a different theme each week. Just a day before the live finale, two contestants were forced to leave in a shock double backdoor eviction.
Even after the winner is named, the drama continues for at least one more night. ITV confirmed this year's housemates will return for a reunion, airing on Friday, November 6 at the show's usual time.
TOWIE Spin-Offs Take Over
From this weekend, Big Brother will be replaced with two spin-off shows following iconic couples through separate milestones. On Sunday and Monday at 9pm, viewers can watch Jordan and Sophie: A TOWIE Baby, a two-part special following TOWIE and Geordie Shore stars Jordan Brook and Sophie Kasaei as they welcome their baby boy, Brody. The couple faced years of fertility struggles and uncertainty, and the final stages of Sophie's pregnancy brought challenges as Jordan battled an illness.
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in the same time slot, ITV2 will broadcast Amy Childs: A TOWIE Wedding. This three-part special follows Amy Childs and her husband Billy Delbosq as they plan a Spanish wedding years in the making and a year overdue. The docuseries captures wedding planning chaos, with Amy's best friend and cousin Harry Derbidge organising a hen do. The road to the altar has been difficult, as a previous attempt collapsed when Amy's mum suffered a heart attack, but with her mum on the mend, the couple are finally getting their wedding.
Blockbuster Movie Nights
From next Friday (November 13), viewers can enjoy movie nights starting with Dune, the 2021 adaptation of the classic sci-fi epic starring Timothee Chalamet as Paul Atreides, who arrives on Arrakis after his father accepts stewardship of the dangerous planet. Chaos ensues after a betrayal as forces clash to control the precious resource melange.
