season of television series
Big Brother 24 is the twenty-fourth season of the American reality television program Big Brother. The season featured a music festival theme. It premiered on July 6, 2022, on CBS in the United States and Global in Canada. Hosted by Julie Chen Moonves, the show follows a group of contestants (known as HouseGuests), who live in a house together while being constantly filmed and having no communication with the outside world as they compete to win a grand prize of $750,000.
The season ran for 82 days, ending on September 25, 2022. Taylor Hale was crowned the winner, defeating Monte Taylor in an 8-1 jury vote. Hale became the first black female HouseGuest to win, as well as the second black HouseGuest to win in the main edition of the show; she was also voted America's Favorite HouseGuest, becoming the first winner to also claim this award and the $50,000 prize that comes with it. On September 25, 2022, CBS renewed the series for a twenty-fifth season.

Why this record matters
The phrase “season of television series” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q112578560. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
