Unlocked vs the main show β what is the difference?
Unlocked is a companion series, not a numbered episode of the flagship season. It sits in its own season count, which is why you are looking at Season 2 while the main show is on Season 28.
That numbering gap confuses a lot of people searching for it. If a guide says "Season 2" and you were expecting 28, you are in the right place.
π Two different shows, two different season counts, same franchise and same network.Where it lands in the week
| Day | Show | Time (ET) |
|---|---|---|
| Thursday, Sept 3 | Big Brother β Episode 25, Live Eviction | 8:00 PM |
| Friday, Sept 4 | Big Brother: Unlocked β S2E5 | 8:00 PM |
The Friday slot lands the day after a live eviction, so it follows a week that has already produced a result.
How to watch
- CBS, over the air or through a cable package
- Paramount+, where the live CBS feed is available in your market
- Live TV streaming services that carry a local CBS affiliate
One thing to keep in mind
Air times listed here come from the network schedule as published. Networks move things β live sports overruns are the usual culprit on a Friday night.
We will follow up with a recap after the episode airs.
