Big Brother 2024, also known as Big Brother 21, is the twenty-first series of Big Brother. It is the second civilian series of Big Brother to air on ITV2 after ITV plc gained the rights to the format, and the third series to air on the network overall.[1] The series began on 6 October 2024 and was again co-presented by AJ Odudu and Will Best, who also returned to host the companion show, Big Brother: Late & Live.[2][3]

At 41 days, this is set to be the shortest-running civilian series of Big Brother in the UK, surpassing the previous series which ran for 42 days.[4]
