Big Brother will be premiering early again this summer, with the controversial reality-competition series set to debut Wednesday, June 25th at 8:00. The live eviction show, which airs on Thursdays, bows the following day at 9:00, while the Sunday broadcast premieres June 29th at 9:00. Said Sunday broadcast will lead off a night of new programming, as legal drama Reckless premieres at June 29th at 9:00 and crime drama Unforgettable returns to the schedule at 10:00 the same night. Taking place in South Carolina, Reckless tells the story of a police sex scandal that brings a Yankee litigator and southern attorney together. The series stars Cam Gigandet (Easy A), Anna Wood (Chronicle), Shawn Hatosy (Southland), Adam Rodriguez (Ugly Betty), and Kim Wayans (In Living Color).

CBS will be adding to its genre stable with sci-fi drama Extant. Executive produced by Stephen Spielberg, the series stars Oscar winner Halle Berry as an astronaut trying to reconnect with her family after returning from a year-long mission. In addition to Berry, Extant stars Goran Visjnic (ER), Camryn Manheim (The Practice), Hiroyuki Sanada (Helix), Grace Gummer (Zero Hour), and Michael O’Neill (Transformers). Extant joins fellow genre series Under the Dome on the CBS summer schedule, with the Stephen King adaptation to premiere its second season Monday, June 30th at 10:00.
