The 2019 'Big Brother: Celebrity Edition' Cast Is Going To Give You Serious Nostalgia

Big Brother has been a reality TV staple for 20 years, and every year, it manages to corral an amusing group of people that America loves watching make friendships, mistakes, and doing everything in between. The franchise really made things interesting when they launched Big Brother: Celebrity Edition last year with iconic participants like James Maslow and Ross Mathews. On Sunday, Jan. 13 the 2019 Big Brother: Celebrity Edition cast was announced. And if you thought last season's contestants were good, get ready, because you're going to be obsessed with these 12 new house guests.

"This season's cast includes Olympians, a former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL running back, a headline-making political strategist, a former teen heartthrob, a Grammy-nominated musician, a former WWE wrestler and an infamous Houseguest, among others," an official CBS press release announced — and they're definitely not overstating the awesomeness of this year's group. The new season will premiere in a two-night event on Monday, Jan. 21 and Tuesday, Jan. 22 at 8 p.m. ET. The familiar host fans know and love, Julie Chen Moonves, will return. And, per Entertainment Tonight, they will compete for a grand prize of $250,000 that they will have the privilege of donating to a charity of their choice. Here are all of the famous house guests that you're about to get to know even better.
