BB28 Cast Drop TODAY, Love Island Finals Week, & London Housewives Are Coming

CBS is officially breaking Big Brother tradition with a brand-new cast reveal format: a YouTube livestream called 'Big Brother: Broveal,' announced yesterday (July 6) and hosted by Julie Chen Moonves herself. Fans have been dying to know who walks into the 'Time Trip'-themed house when BB28 premieres Thursday July 9 — and today is finally the day. The new season will feature the show's most programming hours ever and will eventually hit a historic milestone as the first primetime series to reach 1,000 original episodes. The Broveal will also dive deeper into the twists, house design, and what the 'Time Trip' theme means for gameplay.

Court documents obtained by TMZ reveal that a Utah judge has ordered Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Taylor Frankie Paul to undergo drug and alcohol testing as part of her ongoing custody battle with ex-husband Tate Paul. If her results come back clean, she'll be granted unsupervised parenting time with their two children, Indy and Ocean. If she tests positive for any unprescribed substances, her parenting time will require supervision. TFP broke her silence in emotional social media posts claiming she was lied to and manipulated by Tate, and she and her other ex, Dakota Mortensen, are scheduled back in Salt Lake City court TOMORROW (July 8).

The original OG of the OC is officially returning as a full Housewife for Real Housewives of Orange County Season 20, premiering this Thursday July 9 at 8/9c on Bravo. The milestone 20th season marks the franchise's anniversary and Bravo is calling it 'a new chapter for the series that launched a global phenomenon.' The cast also includes Shannon Storms Beador, Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson, Jennifer Pedranti, and newcomer Carmella Garcia. Vicki's return after years on the sideline is already the talk of the Bravoverse.

Below Deck Mediterranean Season 11 Episode 5, which aired Monday July 6 on Bravo, has the internet screaming. Deckhand Luke made his romantic choice in an ongoing love triangle and hooked up with Gen — loudly — in shared crew quarters, creating a genuinely scandalous situation involving Nathan's bunk that had recappers reaching for the bleach GIFs. Meanwhile, Kayley continued fighting to prove herself as Second Stew material, and the episode ended with the tides clearly turning toward bigger drama ahead. The season, set in Dubrovnik, Croatia, continues Mondays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Bravo officially confirmed this weekend that The Real Housewives of London Season 1 will debut on the US network on Tuesday, July 21 at 9pm ET/PT, with the series originally having aired on UK streamer Hayu in August 2025. The cast — Juliet Angus, Amanda Cronin, Karen Loderick-Peace, Juliet Mayhew, Panthea Parker, and Nessie Welschinger — brings Belgravia-to-Chelsea drama to the Housewives universe. Even better? Season 2 has already wrapped filming, with cast member Juliet Angus teasing it on Instagram, meaning stateside fans are getting a show that's already been renewed and shot.

Liz McGraw has confirmed she will not return for Season 2 of The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, which is currently ramping up production. McGraw shared an Instagram statement saying she made the decision to step back and focus on family, work, and personal passions. RHORI made history as the most-watched Bravo original series premiere ever on Peacock in its first 7 days, making McGraw's exit a surprising move from a breakout show. The remaining six cast members — including Ashley Iaconetti and Rosie DiMare — are expected to continue into Season 2.

With the Season 28 premiere just two days away (July 9, CBS), fans got a full house tour earlier this month revealing a wild 'Time Trip' theme featuring a clock-filled entryway, a futuristic room with sleep pods, historical artifacts including a triceratops skull, and a 'hallway of failed inventions.' Julie Chen Moonves teased that the theme was so brilliant she asked producers why they hadn't thought of it before. CBS confirmed this season will become the first primetime series in US history to air 1,000 original episodes. Jerry O'Connell joins the companion show Big Brother: Unlocked alongside former winners Taylor Hale and Derrick Levasseur.

After a run that shaped hip-hop reality TV culture, the Love & Hip Hop franchise is officially wrapping up with a six-part limited series titled Love & Hip Hop: The Final Chapter, set to air on VH1 in fall 2026. The cancellation of the main franchise series was confirmed earlier this year alongside several other reality casualties including Basketball Wives after Season 12, and Queer Eye wrapping after its tenth and final season on Netflix. The Final Chapter is expected to bring back familiar faces from the franchise's various city editions for a proper farewell.
