Canceled!? Big Budget TV Shows On The Chopping Block

5. Big Brother

Network: CBS
Status: Pending

Premiering in the summer of 2000, “Big Brother” has had a longer run than almost every other reality show in television history, which some people believe is, at least, in part due to the comparatively low cost of the show’s production. The $500,000 prize, that the winner gets, happens to be more than what it costs to make each episode.

The American rendition of the Big Brother franchise, recently, concluded its 23rd season and, as of yet, it is unknown if it will be renewed for a 24th, however, being one of the original reality TV programs, pending something drastic, it can be expected that Julie Chen Moonves will be joined by a new group of houseguests when the summer of 2022 arrives.
