The submission deadline for auditioning is now passed, having ended on April 25. Considering they were even looking for new people suggests that season 16 will not be All Stars, as many had suspected at the end of Big Brother 15. Fans can now assume that it won't at least be all All Stars, but it's possible that they could feature some newbies and some returnees.

Robyn Kass, the show's casting director, would not comment on the possibility of their being returnees in the cast when asked by That's Your Reality in April.

The team behind Big Brother has updated the show's social media accounts with a new logo. The new logo appears to be more loose in its typeface than the usual rigid one. It looks much less formal in nature and could even be considered handwritten.

Big Brother 16 is set to premiere in late June once again. This is the second summer in a row that the show is premiering "early," considering the show usually premieres in July. The first episode is June 25 and it will be the first Wednesday show. This will be followed by Thursdays at 9 p.m. and Sundays at 8 p.m., the scheduled used for Big Brother 15.

The first live eviction is set for July 3.

Longtime host Julie Chen is expected to return as host for the 16th edition.

Big Brother 16 premieres Wednesday, June 25 at 8 p.m. on CBS.
