Big Brother Schweiz is a Swiss version of the reality television franchise Big Brother. The Swiss version is based on the original Dutch Big Brother produced by Endemol. It has had a total of two seasons and has no plan to have another series.
The first season aired in 2000 and was a huge hit with Swiss audience, so the sophomore season followed soon. Although not being as successful as the original series, season 2 proved to be a rating hit as well. However TV3, the station that aired Big Brother, was shut down at the end of 2001 due to financial problems and as of now, no other Swiss channel has shown interest in reactivating the show.
However, Big Brother Germany has since allowed members of the German-speaking public of Switzerland to audition for its version of Big Brother and following 2001 has aired in Switzerland.
