Yahoo News Big Brother's replacement announced by Channel 5
For anyone looking to fill a Big Brother-shaped hole in their lives when the current series ends, you're in luck.
Channel 5 has announced what will be taking the show's time slot when it ends.
A four-part thriller called 15 Days will be be airing next year, which starts with a brutal murder before rewinding back 15 days to unveil the killer.
The show is based on a Welsh-language show called 35 Diwrnod that started in 2014.
A six-part Irish drama called Blood could also air on the channel after it bought the rights.
The show features Line of Duty star Adrian Dunbar and features a woman who returns to her family home in Ireland after her mother's death, only to become suspicious of how she died and her father.
For next year, Clink – a 10-part drama set in a woman's prison – will also air on the 5star channel.
An as-yet-unnamed murder mystery is also being lined up. The drama will be inspired by a real-life murder case from the 1920s.
Big Brother will end on Channel 5 this year, alongside Celebrity Big Brother.
The CEO of Viacom, which owns Channel 5, recently defended the decision to give the long-running show the chop saying: "We continue to do reality programming all around the world and I don't think it says anything about Big Brother broadly speaking.
"This is a decision we made based on the evolution of Channel 5 which again is a multi-year process we've been on. A place where we're getting traction on is the original programming side.
"I don't want that to be interpreted as any kind of broader judgement on Big Brother. Again it was the right decision for us for this marketplace."
