Gossip » Big Brother: Already Renewed For 2012!

Following its most successful ratings season since 2004, Big Brother has already been renewed for its 14th edition to be broadcast next summer on CBS.

This summer's edition, won by Rachel Reilly in last week's finale, delivered the reality hit's largest audience and highest ratings in years, up 5-10 percent.

Traffic on CBS' Big Brother website was up 18 percent, the live feeds showed a 10 percent bump and Showtime's late night BB look-in grew 8 percent.

The Big Brother cast was often maligned this season for being too vanilla, but the fans still tuned in, making the season a mammoth success for CBS.

The early pickup ensures that the madness will continue in 2012. No word if Rachel Reilly and Brendon Villegas will be back for a third straight year.
