Big Brother 24 returns to CBS on July 6, with a 90-minute live premiere hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, and fans are wondering if she'll be gifting Bibles during the series' next installment. 16 new houseguests will be moving into the Big Brother house to compete for $750,000.

Last season's historic victory by Xavier Prather saw the show's first Black winner in 21 years, after a six-member, all-Black alliance called The Cookout made it to the final six. The Cookout's success is due to CBS's 50% BIPOC casting mandate across all reality programming.
