All the ‘Big Brother’ All-Star Contestants Reportedly Set to Return for Season 22

Big Brother is bringing on the All-Stars. The coronavirus pandemic shut down initial plans for the summer CBS show earlier this year, but the network is reportedly set to return for an All-Stars season in just a few weeks. TMZ reported a number of fan-favorite players arrived Tuesday in Los Angeles, where they will be tested and quarantine before heading into the house.

Production sources told the outlet that a core list and alternate list of houseguests were invited to the quarantine and testing procedures before any solid casting choices are made, and contestants must test negative after their two weeks in isolation to enter the house and compete for the prize.
