The big brother Africa show returns for its ninth season on Sunday September 7 with promises of drama to come as the housemates compete for a massive prize pot of $300,000.

Known as Hotshots, the new season reveals housemates have hidden talents, they adore the spotlight and will let nothing stand in the way of their pursuit of fame and fortune.

M-Net Africa regional director (West Africa), Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, said the viewers are in for almost as many surprises as the housemates.

“We work hard to make each season of   Big Brother Africa bigger than the last – and we’ve really upped the ante this year,” she said.

“Big Brother Hotshots is going to bring viewers exciting innovations, heart-stopping twists and uniquely African glamour, 24/7 for 91 days. Both fans and housemates are in for some unmissable television!”

The housemates will start the game in two ultra-glamorous housesbuilt with magic, fun and mischief in mind.

For 91 days, they’ll do their best to outshine one another in the hope of convincing Africa that they’re the continent’s biggest Hotshot.

They’ll party like A-listers, rub shoulders with celebrity guests and face formidable challenges – all while negotiating Biggie’s famous curveballs and twists.

The logo for Big Brother Hotshots hints at the glamorous aspects of this season – but viewers will have to stay tuned 24/7 to see what Biggie has planned for the talented group of housemates.
