It was built next to the Johan Cruyff Arena at a parking lot of Endemol Shine Nederland in a few months.

[7] The show building now also had room for audience members who could be present during the Live broadcasts and exits for the first time after the COVID 19 epidemic.

20 years after the launch of Big Brother, EndemolShine revealed in September 2019 they wanted to bring the series back to the Netherlands.

Some weeks later it was announced it would be a cooperation with the Flemish part of Belgium were the series would be broadcoasted by VIER/Play4.

Producer Jeroen Compeer called it the beginning of a new Big Brother era.

This guideline featured rules about expected behavior, including a thumbs up from both housemates who would become intimate to make sure both give permission and are full of consciousness.

Shortly after showing some messages of viewers, three housemates left the house voluntarily.

When the season ended, it was revealed Jeroen Compaer was the voice behind Big Brother.

[20] He was selected through a casting to find a voice that would appeal to both Dutch and Belgian viewers.

Thomas Nagels, housemate of the first season, joined the creative team with his experience of living in the house himself.

[23] The season made headlines when Big Brother gave warnings following racistic, discriminating and sexistic remarks and behaviour.

[29] Actress and writer Leen Dendievel pointed to Seghairi's nominations at International Women's Day to show its importance, saying Seghairi is a strong woman who is always nominated by male housemates who can't handle such women.

The concept of the program was rethought, focussing on the housemates playing individual and adding the power of nomination of international series and the Big Brother coins.

Hosts Kemper and Beloy said there were never more Valentine cards and gifts than for the housemates of that season.

[37] Viewers complained when the evicted housemate Danny Volkers was able to return to the house and compete back in the game.

Liese Luwel from season 1 was the contestant who stayed for the longest time in the Big Brother house.

The other two seasons were shortened in time, making her the only housemate staying for 99 days in the house.

[44] Danny Volker of season 3 was the first housemate to return to the house and compete again after being evicted.

[45] Ashley De Graaf was the second housemate to return after being evicted in the fourth season.

She returned only a few hours after being evicted when another housemate who was nominated voluntarily left the house.

[46] Season 1 winner Jill Goede created her own clothing line and appeared in other television programs.

[47] Season 1 runner-up Nick Kraft enjoyed bigger success with his alterego Ronny Retro and even played at Tomorrowland.

[48] The relationship that developed during the second season between Dimitri Rodaro and Vera Dijkstra did not last, ending after a few months.
