Telemundo adds “Big Brother” to its reality roster

Telemundo is bringing another reality show to the network. For the first time in the U.S., viewers will get to see “Gran Hermano,” the Spanish-language version of the worldwide hit format.

The original series, slated for 2016, is being produced by Endemol Shine Latino, exclusively for Telemundo.

The 13 episodes will feature a U.S. Hispanic cast. “Gran Hermano” will start with 14 strangers living together with no connection to the outside world in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Contestants will vote each other out until the last remaining house guest wins a grand prize.  The series will be paired with a 24-hour digital hub at Telemundo.com that will allow viewers to check in on the housemates whenever they choose and see events unfold in real time.
