Kamloops reporter to head home after production of Big Brother Canada cancelled

The eighth season of Big Brother Canada has officially been cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

That means Kamloops reporter John Luke Kieper, who works for media site Kamloops Now, will be returning home from Toronto after a successful run so far.

“Big Brother Canada is a labour of love for so many, and even though it hurts to say goodbye to the season, it’s the right thing to do,” said Big Brother Canada Host Arisa Cox in a news release. “On behalf of the incredible people who put this show together, thank you to everyone who started this journey with us. Please take care and be safe!”

Big Brother Canada says it has no plans to resume production at a later date.

The show will air its final two episodes Wednesday, March 25, and Wednesday, April 1.
