Could Celebrity Big Brother Get Another Season? Here's What Julie Chen Says

Of course, as Julie Chen also expressed to EW, the Winter Olympics don't come around every year. In a normal year, CBS would already be rolling along with returns of its successful shows and midseason premieres hoping to make a splash with audiences. In short, there wouldn't be a lot of space for CBS to air Celebrity Big Brother 3-5 times a week during a non-Olympic winter as those spots would be taken by shows expected to perform well in primetime. If Celebrity Big Brother was pulling in Young Sheldon numbers, it'd be a different story, but with viewership averaging on the lower end of 5 million, it'd be hard for CBS to justify airing the show multiple times a week when other shows could bring in greater numbers.
